Anza Beach (Dinosaur Footprints)

Late Cretaceous trackway on the Atlantic shoreline

Anza, ~30 minutes north of Agadir, holds one of Morocco's most important dinosaur trackways — 323 footprints from roughly 99 individual dinosaurs preserved across calcareous sandstone layers along the shore. Released by an exceptional Atlantic swell in 2013 and extended in 2015, the prints date from the Upper Cretaceous (Santonian, ~85 million years ago).
