The Dinosaur Quarry of Altamura, also known as cava dei dinosauri or cava Pontrelli , is an area of scientific interest located in the countryside of the city of Altamura, Italy, where about 4000 footprints of dinosaurs have been found (according to other sources, they are much more than 4000). It was originally an abandoned quarry located in an area named Pontrelli located on "Via Santeramo", where a kind of carbonate rock known as calcare di Altamura used to be extracted. It originally belonged to the De Lucia family and, after a few changes of ownership, in 2016 it was expropriated. Now it belongs to the Municipality of Altamura due to the remarkable scientific relevance of the discovery.

  • La cava dei dinosauri, chiamata anche cava Pontrelli, è un'area di interesse scientifico situata nelle campagne della città di Altamura in cui nel 1999 sono state ritrovate circa quattromila impronte di dinosauri. Era originariamente una cava abbandonata situata in una zona che va sotto il nome topografico di Pontrelli (da cui "cava Pontrelli") sull'attuale via Santeramo dove veniva estratto un tipo di roccia che va sotto il nome di calcare di Altamura. Apparteneva originariamente alla famiglia De Lucia e, dopo alcuni passaggi di proprietà, nel 2016 venne espropriata e passata in proprietà al Comune di Altamura per la notevole rilevanza scientifica della scoperta.
