【 摘 要 】

Dinosaur footprints have been found preserved on sandstone blocks discarded from the flooded clay pit Pyritsøen, south of Hasle, Bornholm. The sandstone belongs to the Middle Jurassic Bagå Formation, but the exact horizon is not known. Palynological studies confirm that the sandstone blocks originate from the Bagå Formation. Two specimens were collected, one showing two footprints from a sauropod dinosaur having a foot length of 68 cm, and a small pentadactyl footprint, 26cm long, interpreted as deriving from an armoured dinosaur. These are the first dinosaur footprints recorded from Denmark.
