Deokmyeong-ri: tracks by an ancient lake

Tracks → burial and preservation → exposure today · process diagram

An explanatory illustration informed by Deokmyeong-ri research, not a fossil photograph, measured trackway or reconstructed shoreline. It identifies no dinosaur species.

Today, coastal rocks at Deokmyeong-ri, Goseong, preserve dinosaur and bird tracks in the Cretaceous Jindong Formation. The strata record lake-margin and shallow-water settings, not one lake covering all of today’s Gyeongsang region.
