Pterosaur Beach (France)

Pterosaur Beach (French: Plage aux Ptérosaures) is a French palaeoichnologic site bearing tracks made by dinosaurs and pterosaurs. Located on the Mas de Pégourdy in the commune of Crayssac in the department of Lot, the site is notable because it is the first place that the fossil footprints of a landing pterosaur have been discovered. The fossil footprints are approximately 140 million years old.
