Cal Orck’o is a paleontological site in Sucre, Bolivia, known for dinosaur footprints.
The site is a nearly vertical limestone wall, about 1.2 kilometers long and 80 meters high, containing over 5,000 individual footprints from several different dinosaur species, including sauropods, theropods, ornithopods, and ankylosaurs. These footprints date back roughly 68–66 million years, to the Cretaceous period.
The wall’s current vertical position resulted from tectonic forces that lifted and tilted what was once a muddy lakebed into a cliff face.
