Broome
Dinosaur tracks are disappearing
A scientist says all the Broome Sandstone dinosaur tracks documented in the 1960s have disappeared.
Dinosaur expert Dr Steve Salisbury said the sandstone has many layers, and surf naturally erodes each layer, destroying tracks but exposing new ones underneath.
He is leading a team that will be mapping dinosaur tracks for the next three years.
