- Abstract
In the Algarve Basin dinosaur tracks were discovered for the first time at Praia da Salema (Vila do Bispo, southwest Algarve) by Carlos Coke in 1995 during fieldwork in the area. Since then, research in this region has allowed the identification of five dinosaur track levels of Early Barremian age at Praia da Salema and Praia Santa (Vila do Bispo, southwest Algarve). Here, tridactyl footprints with theropod affinity and iguanodontian footprints assigned to Iguanodontipus isp. were identified. To the west of these sites, in the Upper Jurassic of Foia do Carro, sauropod trackways were also documented. Along this sedimentary sequence several isolated tridactyl footprints with ornithopod affinity were identified.
