Resumo
The article considers new finds of the dinosaur footprints from the Lower Cretaceous (Valanginian) deposits. The footprints were found in the outcrops in close vicinity of the city of Kislovodsk (Caucasus Mineral Waters, Stavropol Krai). The images of the footprints (both photographs and line-tracing drawings) are given. The footprints were left by large bipedal herbivorous ornithopod dinosaurs (most probably, iguanodontids) and carnivorous theropod dinosaurs (megalosaurids). Some evidences on the possible presence of the segnosaurids (Macropodosaurus) in the same deposits are also provided. Suggestions for organizing museum storage of the Lower Cretaceous dinosaur footprints of this region are proposed.
