Lark Quarry Dinosaur Trackways, Dinosaur footprint site in Winton Shire, Australia.

The conservation area contains over 3,300 preserved dinosaur tracks spread across 210 square meters of sandstone rock formation.

The tracks date back 95 million years to when small bipedal dinosaurs crossed paths near a riverbed in what was then a conifer-lined landscape.

The site functions as an educational center where visitors learn about prehistoric life through guided tours and scientific exhibits.

The location requires a two-hour drive from Winton along both sealed and unsealed roads, with guided tours operating three times daily except Sundays.

Scientists identified two distinct track types, Skartopus and Wintonopus, which provide evidence of different dinosaur species traversing the ancient riverbed.
