  , The US joint expedition in the city flag Chubb E Hector discovered in a large number of dinosaur footprints, including China's first large sauropod dinosaur footprints found, and also found a sauropod (dinosaur food Zhiwu) and theropod (carnivorous dinosaur) tracks mixed in the same location of the phenomenon, which is first found in China. Concentration: a study in more than 100 points in mid-August this year, tracks from Beijing Museum of Natural History, Museum of Inner Mongolia, Hubei Cultural Relics Management Station and the U.S. flag Hector University of Colorado in the composition of the U.S. joint expedition, Hector E flag of the city Chubb region dinosaur footprint of field site visits. Experts believe that these well-preserved dinosaur footprints, clear-cut, wide distribution, quantity, the line trace length. Location is found in the desert shore or bed of the river, is 130 million years ago formed in the early Cretaceous strata. Sauropod footprints were round, diameter 89 cm, the smallest 30 cm, most point of the study found a total of more than 100 footprints, very rare, great research value. Precious: why the food hard to find plants dinosaur footprints discovered sauropod dinosaur footprints seem so precious? Because? The normal ecological situation? Eating dinosaur footprint than plants carnivorous dinosaur footprints. But? It is strange? In China and around the world, three-toed footprints in the type of meat dragon dinosaur footprints found in all the great share ratio. Experts believe that eating dinosaur lived in water plants, swamp environment in the surrounding areas can get near enough food, do not have to walk a very long way, and step on the plants lush area is difficult to leave footprints, so the formation of fossil footprints left behind is extremely rare. The carnivorous dinosaurs to hunt around looking for food plants, dinosaurs, sometimes food plants in the pursuit of the dinosaurs escape into the water, and meat-eating dinosaurs still wander the shore constantly, so a lot of footprints left behind. Use: to explore the ecological chubb expert analysis, in Chubb discovered in so many dinosaur footprints and fossilized footprints of birds, and some fossils of other organisms, indicating where in the Cretaceous era was often the haunt of the dinosaur. Environment favorable for the dinosaurs to survive and multiply, lakes, swamps and river sediment strata thickness uniform, moderate hardness, is formed and preserved dinosaur footprints very important conditions. The region's wide variety of dinosaur footprints, a good state of preservation, preservation and study of long-term value, the visit is to study only a good start. Dinosaur footprints in the area of ​​research for the restoration of the ancient environment of great value, such as footprints can determine the direction of the river, water depth, sedimentary strata, the rock formation. In addition, the study of dinosaur footprints is also a complement to studies of dinosaur fossils, through the footprint, you can determine the direction of the velocity of the dinosaurs, living habits, and these dinosaur fossils from the study itself can not be concluded.
