Palaeontologists aim to resolve riddle of dinosaur playground

The find in Germany of the tracks of the 1.4-metre-tall dinosaur from the Troodontidae family is the first of its kind in Europe. A highly realistic model of the dinosaur will soon be on show in the museum in Hanover, the capital of the state of Lower Saxony, where they were found some four years ago.
Torsten van der Lubbe has grown particularly fond of the birdlike creature. When weather allows he is on his knees in the sandstone quarries of Obernkirchen looking for tracks, which he then photographs using a special procedure that creates three-dimensional models
