In dinosaur news this week:

  • The Science Museum of Minnesota closed for a day in response to the local ICE presence. If you want to support Minnesotans go to www.standwithminnesota.com/
  • In Bolivia, there are almost 18,000 theropod dinosaur tracks that show evidence of running, sauntering, and swimming
  • An earlier study of the Carreras Pampa site also found that the theropods feet sunk in the mud
  • One set of footprints shows the fastest running theropod trackway in the Cretaceous
  • Scientists re-examined the longest known theropod trackway in China
  • Dinosaur Ridge, Colorado, has the largest known dinosaur mating dance arena
  • Tracks from 76 million years ago may show that ceratopsians and ankylosaurs hung out together
  • Paleontologists found a set of sauropod tracks that show it made a loop
  • Scientists found multiple trackways in Oxfordshire, England, from mostly sauropods walking at a steady pace
  • Theropod footprints were found in a crisscross pattern in Texas, U.S.
