Summary

Description

O Monumento Natural da Pedra da Mua situa-se na arr iba que limita a sul a Praia dos Lagosteiros (Cabo Espichel, Sesimbra) e é const ituído por oito camadas datadas do final do Jurássico Superior que conserva m pegadas de terópodes (dinossáurios bípedes carnívoros) e de saurópodes d e grandes e pequenas dimensões que passaram há cerca de 145 milhões de a nos. Pistas paralelas revelam que pelo menos sete pequenos saurópodes seg uiam juntos, em manada, e que foram seguidos por três saurópodes maiores. Tra ta-se de um excelente exemplo de comportamento gregário nos saurópodes re conhecido numa jazida europeia. Algumas das pistas de saurópodes são do t ipo Brontopodus

 e  têm  sido 

atribuídas por vários autores a braquiossáurios ou a titanossáurios. Também se identificaram pistas estreitas de saurópodes do tip o Parabrontopodus . Esta é a mais espectacular das jazidas do concelho de Sesimbra, n ão só devido ao sítio privilegiado onde se encontra, mas também pela exce lente conservação das impressões e relevância da informação paleobiológic a e paleoecológica que

proporciona sobre os dinossáurios. <a href="http://www.mnhn.ul.pt/pls/portal/docs/1/353091.PDF" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.mnhn.ul.pt/pls/portal/docs/1/353091.PDF</a>
