@seth Ooh. Oh my word, they were awesome weren’t they? Totally understand that being a better fit! I got lucky while I was down there and happened to bump into a marine biologist and palaeontologist on the beach! Got a decent tour 😂

Being able to press your hand into fossilised dinosaur footprints is something else, isn’t it? 👌🏻

Reaching out across hundreds of millions of years... this and many more sauropod footprints (with tracks criss-crossing each other on enormous limestone slabs) was discovered in the 1980s in a commercial quarry. It's now a national monument, preserving a prehistoric treasure and giving visitors a chance to touch a trace of these ancient creatures.
