UK's biggest dinosaur footprint site unearthed
About 200 footprints made by dinosaurs 166 million years ago have been unearthed in a quarry in Oxfordshire.
"I was basically clearing the clay, and I hit a hump, and I thought it's just an abnormality in the ground," he said, pointing to a ridge where some mud has been pushed up as a dinosaur's foot pressed down into the earth. "It's almost like a caricature of a dinosaur footprint", explained Dr Emma Nicholls, a vertebrate palaeontologist from the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. The prints are so beautifully preserved that the team have been able to work out which animal passed through first - they believe it was the sauropod, because the front edge of its large, round footprint is slightly squashed down by the three-toed megalosaurus walking on top of it.
