This river once flowed over muddy coastal flats where giant reptiles trod, leaving behind the precise, three-dimensional imprints of their journeys. This interactive guide will introduce you to the mighty predators and immense herbivores that walked this ground, explain the incredible geology that preserved their steps, and help you plan your own trip to walk in the footprints of giants.
