Description
Numerosas huellas de dinosaurios se reportan en areniscas de grano fino de la Formación Arcabuco, cercade Chiquiza, Boyacá (Colombia). Las huellas fueron generadas por terópodos, saurópodos y ornitópodos. El ambiente de depósito fue fluvial (margen de canal de un río). La edad de los estratos dinoturbados podría estar entre el Jurásico Tardío y el Cretácico Temprano. Se presentan nuevas áreas con rastros y huesos de dinosaurios en Colombia.

Numerous dinosaur tracks occur in the fine-grained sandstones of the Arcabuco Formation, near Chiquiza,Boyacá (Colombia). The tracks were made by theropods, sauropods and ornithopods. Local depositional paleoenvironment was fluvial (riverbank). The age of the beds at dinosaur tracksites could be Late Jurassic or Early Cretaceous. New for Colombia, we are introducing new sites with dinosaur remains and footprints. Keywords: Dinosaur traces, Arcabuco Formation, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Colombia
