Dinosaur Footprints on Cable Beach

You’re walking along the beach at sunset, and suddenly you come across a bizarre site. A dinosaur footprint!

That’s what happened Sunday when a local woman stumbled across the ancient footprints of a dinosaur on Cable Beach in Broom.

Bindi Lee Porth was looking for sea shells near one of the most frequented parts of Cable Beach when she made the discovery.

“I went to put my foot down, and the best way that I could describe it is that I felt a very strong energy,” Ms Porth told ABC Local Radio.

At first, Porth couldn’t believe what she had found.

“Every single day there are people there — kids playing, people fishing, playing footy, sunbathing even,” she said.

“That’s why I thought no, they couldn’t have been real because there’d be signs or some sort of notification to let people know these prints are here.”

“There have been tracks spotted in the Cable Beach area over the years, most of those are sauropod tracks, but this is the first time we’ve become aware of there being another type of dinosaur track in that area.

“Sauropod tracks are large, oval depressions, but these ones look like classic dinosaur tracks,” Palaeontologist Dr Steve Salisbury from the University of Queensland told the ABC.

The ancient Broome sandstone holds hundreds and hundreds of trackways of up to 15 different types of dinosaur, ABC wrote.

These 4 three toed dinosaur footprints are gorgeous, and the shifting sands and tides, and by a chance beachcomber at sunset, has found them again…three of the prints are Megalosaurus Broomensis, a carnivorous Theropod, plus another type and part of the Aboriginal song cycle of emu man dream time.

The area is famous for it’s sunsets and camels, however these ancient footprints embedded into the local rocks are just part of the magic that is Australia’s Kimberly region.
