Dinoplagne

Here's a short relation from a visit to Dinoplagne - a place in France with dinosaur tracks.

Dinoplagne has 155 meters of tracks of a sauropod, as of 2021 claimed to be the longest known in the world. There are also 38 meters of tracks of a theropod.

Having done a lot of photos it's possible to create a 3D model thanks to photogrammetry implemented in AliceVision Meshroom.

Photogrammetry allows retrieval of pixel colour thus reconstructed 3D object can be nicely textured.

Next place to visit is a smaller canopy with theropod tracks. Animal was moving with an estimated speed of 13 km/h.
