Nearly 200 Dinosaur Footprints Dating Back 166 Million Years Discovered at UK's Largest Site
Jan 2, 2025, 06:15 PM
Researchers from the University of Oxford and the University of Birmingham have uncovered nearly 200 dinosaur footprints dating back 166 million years in Dewars Farm Quarry in Oxfordshire, southern England. The discovery, the largest of its kind in the UK, was initiated when a worker digging up clay noticed unusual bumps, leading to the unearthing of the footprints. The tracks, some stretching over 150 meters, include five exceptionally long trackways and belong to both carnivorous and herbivorous dinosaurs from the Middle Jurassic period, such as the nine-meter-long predator Megalosaurus and the long-necked sauropod Cetiosaurus. This 'dinosaur highway' offers an extraordinary window into the lives of dinosaurs, shedding new light on their movements and interactions during that era.
