BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE The ichnological outcrops of Igea extend over a wide area, being the most interesting for its scientific value: “La Cañada”, “Las Navas”, “Santa Ana”, “la Era del Peladillo” and “La Torre”. Ichnites of these deposits are mostly tridactyls, belonging to biped dinosaurs both theropod (carnivorous) and ornithopod (herbivorous). In the site of “La Era del Peladillo” stand out numerous ichnites attributed to two herds of dinosaurs, one of sauropods quadruped and another one of ornithopod bidactyl, all herbivorous.
