| "Some 200 million years ago, a variety of reptiles lived
in southern africa. Amongst wihich were dinosaurs that walked on their hind legs. Here,
their tracks are visible in Etjo Sandstone, formed from wind-deposited sand which was
redistributed by irregular rains. The animals left their tracks on rain-soaked sand or on
the shores of ancient lakes. Through the ages this sand, with the tracks, was gradally
covered by layers of sediment, and hardened into stone. Erosion has subsequently exposed
the tracks." (National Monuments Council) |
