Extent of the 'Dinosaur Dance Floor'

Caption

The "dinosaur dance floor" -- formally known as a dinosaur "trample surface" -- is outlined by white dashes in this photo taken from a hill above the three-quarter-acre site. The site's numerous holes in Jurassic sandstone were identified as dinosaur tracks by University of Utah geologists Marjorie Chan and Winston Seiler.
