Pterosaur footprints were observed near Uhang-ri, Haenam-gun, Jeonranam-Do, Korea. These foorprints are considered to have been made by Pterodactyl-like pterosaur. The length of footprints usually ranges from 17 to 26cm, with the largest being 35cm. The site contains a total of 443 pterosaur footprints and a 7.3m long trackway, which is the longest in the world. The pterosaur footprints in Uhang-ri expose clear marks of fore feet and hind feets lined up, which has brought them the scientific name of Haenamichnus uhangriensis.
