Recently, researchers discovered a large number of early Cretaceous dinosaur footprint fossils in Liyuan Village, Dinongshan Town, Lufeng City, Yunnan Province. On-site stratigraphic age determination showed that although the rock layer where the dinosaur footprints are located is more than 120 million years old, many of the footprints on site are still very clear.

These dinosaur footprint fossils were first discovered by two local villagers when they were herding sheep in the mountains and reported to the natural resources department. As the scope of surveys expands, more and more dinosaur footprint fossils continue to be discovered. As of May 26, researchers have discovered more than 400 dinosaur footprint fossils.

"There are three types of these footprints. One is made by a large sauropod, similar to Diplodocus; the other is made by a type similar to Tyrannosaurus rex; and another type looks like an Ankylosaurus or a Stegosaurus. "Footprint fossils," said Wang Tao, director of the Lufeng Dinosaur Fossil Conservation Research Center.

Dinosaur Mountain Town in Lufeng City is the place where dinosaur footprint fossils are concentrated. Since the 1990s, well-known paleontologists and geologists in my country such as Xing Lida and Lu Junchang have successively discovered local shell mountains, Zhuqingkou Reservoir, Dali Shu Village and Dinosaur footprint fossils have been found in Lijiacun and other places. This discovery proves to a large extent that during the Cretaceous period, there were still a large and diverse group of dinosaurs living in the Lufeng area. Currently, site surveys and related studies are still in progress.
