Lark Quarry's dinosaur trackways represent the world's only known fossilized dinosaur stampede.The site contains over 3300 footprints of between 170 and 200 individual dinosaurs of two different kinds - carnivorous coelurosaurs about the size of chickens, and slightly larger plant-eating ornithopods, some of them as large as emus. When a huge meat-eating theropod, smaller than a Tyrannosaurus, approached the lake the smaller dinosaurs stampeded leaving a chaotic mass of footprints in the mud as they ran to escape.
