Inside the rocky dinosaur valley
The central dinosaur has a row of triangular plates or spikes running along its back. Six legs are visible beneath its body, although real dinosaurs are known to have had four limbs rather than six. Smooth stones cover the ground around the animal, and a mountain range rises across the background to form the valley landscape.
Interesting facts about rocky prehistoric habitats
Rocks can preserve traces of ancient life when sediment gradually hardens around bones, footprints, or plants. Mountain valleys also expose different layers of stone through erosion, which can help paleontologists locate fossils. The landscape seen today may look very different from the environment in which a fossilized dinosaur originally lived.
