A team of Chinese researchers have found a massive concentration of dinosaur footprints, scientifically termed as "dinosaur dance floor," in Shanghang county, east China's Fujian province.

The "dance floor" is an excavation site measuring 100 square meters and approximately 200 dinosaur tracks have been identified there, said Xing Lida, a paleontologist at the China University of Geosciences and a member of the research team.

据中国地质大学古生物学者、该科考团队成员邢立达介绍，科考团队在一处100平方米的清理现场发现了约200枚恐龙足迹。

The concentration of dinosaur footprints indicates that it could have been a pathway for dinosaurs roaming the area in a relatively short period of time during the Late Cretaceous, he added.

邢立达说，这个区域恐龙足迹非常多，意味着该区域可能是晚白垩世恐龙日常活动的一个通道，当时在比较短的时间内有很多恐龙在此来回走动。
