[Geology2] World's only evidence of co-existing humans, dinosaur tracks found

I love when that happens . . .

World's only evidence of co-existing humans, dinosaur tracks found in
China People's Daily [China], October 17, 2011

A team of Chinese and American scientists have discovered the world's
only evidence of co-existing human beings and dinosaur tracks in a
remote county in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, according to
a paper published Saturday in the Geological Bulletin of China, a
Chinese core academic journal. Qijiang County's Lianhua Baozhai, which
means "Lotus Mountain Fortress" in Chinese, has a large number of
dinosaur tracks as well as a well-preserved fortress and historical
epigraph, forming a direct line of evidence that ancient Chinese people
built a residence and lived there for a long time, said Xing Lida, one
of three researchers with the project as well as a doctoral degree
candidate with the Department of Biological Sciences of the University
of Alberta in Canada. Adrienne Mayor, the third researcher with the
project as well as a historian of ancient science and a classical
folklorist with Stanford University in the United States, said the case
of the Lotus Mountain Fortress proves that dinosaur tracks had impacted
ancient Chinese folklore, which could provide clues for seeking other
tracks.
