Resumo: | In the case of dinosaur footprints which are exposed in-situ, it is expected that only those who are familiar with this subject can identify them with the naked eye. Therefore, the public interest in preserving this heritage depends on the efforts made to raise awareness of these geosites. Due to the degradation, these sites suffer because of outdoor exposure, and the need to perform conservation actions arises, such as consolidation of the upper layers of the footprints. For the present study, rock samples were collected from three sites in Portugal where dinosaur footprints exist: Lourinhã, Carenque, and Sobral da Lagoa. In order to draw conclusions about the proposed consolidant, Nanolime, Paraloid B-72®was used as a termof comparison as the standard in terms of photochemical stability. Different mechanical and analytical tests were performed to better understand the behavior of both consolidates and to characterize the base rock without treatment. This preliminary study on the use of Nanolime as a consolidate for in situ dinosaur footprints showed that Nanolime may work on the studied rocks since it improves the physical and mechanical properties in some way. Further tests on this consolidant are proposed for more definitive conclusions. |

Por conseguinte, o interesse público na preservação deste património depende dos esforços feitos para aumentar a sensibilização. Devido à degradação que estes locais sofrem devido à exposição ao ar livre, surge a necessidade de realizar acções de conservação, tais como a consolidação das camadas superiores das pegadas. Para o presente estudo, foram recolhidas amostras de rochas em três sítios em Portugal onde existem pegadas de dinossauros: Lourinhã, Carenque, e Sobral da Lagoa. A fim de tirar conclusões sobre o consolidante proposto, Nanolime, o Paraloide B-72®foi utilizado como termo de comparação como padrão em termos de estabilidade fotoquímica. Este estudo preliminar sobre a utilização daNanolime como consolidante para pegadas de dinossauros in situ mostrou que este pode funcionar nas rochas estudadas uma vez que, de alguma forma, melhora as propriedades físicas e mecânicas da rocha. De qualquer forma, são propostos mais testes sobre este consolidante para conclusões mais definitivas.Coutinho, InêsMateus, OctávioSilva, AnaRUNPrada, Cristiana Filipa Ferreira2023-11-28T11:59:40Z2022-122022-12-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/160600enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:43:20Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/160600Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:58:07.528161Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

For the present study, rock samples were collected from three sites in Portugal where dinosaur footprints exist: Lourinhã, Carenque, and Sobral da Lagoa.
