Lark Quarry

Winton, Australia
Dinosaur Stampede National Monument at Lark Quarry Conservation Park (aka Lark Quarry or Dinosaur Stampede) in Australia is considered to be the site of the world's only known record of a dinosaur stampede, with fossilised footprints are interpreted as a predator stalking and causing a stampede of around 150 two-legged dinosaurs. This interpretation has been challenged in recent years, with evidence suggesting it may have been a natural river crossing In 2015 Shire of Winton invited the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum of Natural History to take over the operation of public guided tours at Dinosaur Stampede National Monument. This joint initiative, implemented in April 2016, provides visitors with a broader understanding of unique Australian dinosaurs and the world they inhabited. In 2016 Dinosaur Stampede National Monument received 11,993 visitors. The Lark Quarry site is about 110 km (68 mi) south west of the western Queensland town of Winton.
