“Dinosaur Lion” in Britain: Hundreds of traces of prehistoric monsters found in a quarry

Hundreds of prints left behind were discovered by scientists in . The tracks dating from the middle Jurassic period were found in a quarry in Oxfordshire, southern England. During the excavation at the “Dewars Farm” quarry five extensive trail tracks were found that formed dinosaurs who… walked millions of years ago in today’s Britain. CORVERSE In fact, one of the trails was more than 150 meters long, researchers from Oxford and Birmingham universities stated. Four of the tracks were made by giant, long-necked, plant-eating dinosaurs (the so-called sauropods), probably of Cetiosaurus, cousin of the well-known Diplodocus, up to 18 meters long, said. The fifth trace comes from the sarcophagus Megalosaurus, who had characteristic legs with three fingers. CORVERSE The traces of carnivores and herbivores, about 166 million years old, cross at one point, raising questions about whether and how the two types of dinosaurs interacted, researchers said. NEW: In a stunning finding, researchers from Oxford University and have uncovered a huge expansion of quary floor filled with Hundreds of different Dinosaur footprints, creating multiple instrumental trackways. — University of Oxford (@UniofOxford) “There’s lot and lot to learn from.” Sky’s tells about the discovery of the UK’s biggest-ever dinosaur trackway site. — Sky News (@SkyNews) Professor Paleobiology, Richard Butler, said: “This is by far the largest dinosaur tracking area in the United Kingdom. It is actually one of the world’s largest dinosaur trace locations.”
