Summary (English)

  • In 2011, the major undertaking in the quarry was a detailed 3D survey of the surfaces with dinosaur footprints, made using a laser scanner and the subsequent analysis of the resulting data. The analysis identified new footprints and attributed others, previously defined as “anomalous”, to the young of large species. These results suggested another even more detailed 3D survey of several surfaces would be of use. This produced significant results.

    In different periods, interventions were undertaken to consolidate the studied finds, clear weeds, clean the surfaces with footprints and paved surfaces and carryout maintenance on the structures protecting the site.
