History
How the Landscape โ of Gungal Rock was formed?
๐ During the past 2.5 million years, continents shifting and colossal ice sheets gripped the globe, perhaps 15 different times. Glaciers sculpted about one-third of the earthโs landmass. Tectonic plates are in motion, vulcanos lifting landmasses and creating a mountain range.
Cordillera Mountains is not the place where archaeologists come to find ancient tombs or hidden treasures nighter this is a destination for dinosaur's fossils and remnants of other species that we have not seen for millions of years.
โ
Unknown to the day hikers that the Mt. Ulap Eco-Trail is an old mule track, known only to local shepherds and mountain farmers, which is ascending slowly up and down over hill and dale, which starts at the Ampucao Barangay Hall and snakes along the Ampucao Mountain Ridge passing by the Corral Rock, the Gungal Rock, the Mt. Ulap Summit and ending in a descending path through the Pinewood forest in Sta Fe Exit Point
๐ฉ In other words, there were no dinosaurs in the Philippines because, in the first place, there was no Philippines during the time of the dinosaurs. The Philippines came into existence as an archipelago about ten million years ago, during the Pleistocene Epoch. The first Philippine island likely surfaced nearly 60 million years ago โ about five million years after the last of the dinosaurs died out.
