"Alaska's Ancient Ecosystem Reveals Dinosaur Tracks"

Researchers have unearthed a treasure trove of 100 million-year-old dinosaur tracks and fossils in Alaska's Nanushuk Formation, shedding light on a diverse Cretaceous ecosystem. The site boasts 75 dinosaur tracks, 2-foot-wide tree stumps, leaves, and feces, offering a glimpse into an ancient landscape. The majority of tracks were left by herbivorous dinosaurs, while some belonged to meat-eating dinosaurs and extinct shorebirds. The findings also revealed that the Arctic region had a warm and wet climate similar to modern-day South Florida, providing valuable insights into the ancient environment.
