La Paz, April 25 (teleSUR-RHC)-- A group of Bolivian, European and U.S. scientists discovered at least 10,000 footprints of dinosaurs on Thursday, making the Andean country the owner of the largest paleontological areas in the world ever discovered.

The footprints, found on the hill of Cal Orcko close to the Bolivian capital of Sucre, are from some 65 million years old. In 2006, at least 5,000 footprints had already been discovered in this area, belonging to tyrannosaurs, theropods and other types of reptiles.

Sucre's mayor Moises Torres announced he will ask the UNESCO to register the footprints in the list of world heritage sites.
