SEOUL - A two-toed footprint has been found that proves dromaeosaurs (or raptors) lived in Korea.It is reported here that the unique footprint was found in 100 - 110 million year old strata at a site in Namhae-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do (South central Korea).
The fossil is unique as it is only the fourth raptor footprint fossil found worldwide, along with ones from USA and China.
Palaeontologists think the footprint belongs to a raptor because only the impression shows only two of its three walking toes. The third inner toe carried the infamous "killer claw" and was held off the ground (presumably to keep the claw sharp).
I have also discovered that there are many sites of fossil footprints and egg shells and nests in southern Korea. Check back for further updates on these finds.
So it seems that dinosaurs have followed me to Korea!

Raptors were in Korea... You'd better be careful for Raptors STILL alive there!
Thanks Traumador! I'll keep my eyes open and my wits about me. I'll let you know if I find any live Raptors...
hey buddy,this is one of the best posts that I�ve ever seen; you may include some more ideas in the same theme. I�m still waiting for some interesting thoughts from your side in your next post.
Say someone found a raptor footprint. Where would they report it? I found one in 1995. Can send a picture if you are interested
A debt of gratitude is in order for your glorious posting! I very delighted in understanding it.
