Dinoplagne, Paleontological site in Plagne, France.
The site features a 155-meter-long titanosaur footprint track preserved in the natural environment of the Haute Chaine du Jura mountains.
Discovered in April 2009 by paleontology enthusiasts Marie-Hélène Marcaux and Patrice Landry, the site opened to the public on July 9, 2021.
Dinoplagne provides scientific evidence of dinosaur presence in France during the Late Jurassic period, approximately 150 million years ago.
The site welcomes visitors with guided tours, educational programs, and a dedicated mobile application that provides information about Jurassic period life.
The footprints indicate the presence of sauropod dinosaurs weighing between 30 and 40 tons, moving across what was once a lagoon shore.
