Taejongdae

This guide to Taejongdae in Busan starts in October 1999, when geologists from Pusan National University, led by professor Kim Hang-muk, were combing the coastline and found dozens of three-toed impressions pressed into the rock beneath your feet. It traces what those tracks tell us about the hadrosaurs that once shuffled through a shallow lake here near the end of the age of dinosaurs, and how researchers believe more may still be buried in the cliff face. Look at the smooth grey stone under the boardwalk and consider that it was once soft lake mud.
