Geocache Description:


Our crew of palaeontologists are working hard excavating a pile of bones from the foot of a gigantic Therizinosaurus. Edmund and Helena are carefully digging out more of the sizeable metatarsals, while Zachary is in the field-lab tent, trying to piece them together. This is what they've got so far:

Therizinosaurus was a huge herbivorous theropod dinosaur from the end of the Cretaceous period. It could get up to 9-10m long and 4-5m tall, and may have weighed over 5 tonnes. That's about three times the weight of a car, or 4/5ths of a T-Rex!

Useful information for the series

Once solved, the first ten caches in this series can be done in a roughly circular walk, although one stretch is along a road that is not the best so please make sure you walk on the safest side of the road, and if you have geokids with you, keep an eye on them!

We've suggested two places where you can park to do this walk, you can find them in the waypoints.

Alternatively you can do seven of this group as park-and-grabs, but for three of them you'll have to get out and go for a short walk :)
