In Oxfordshire, England, nearly 200 dinosaur footprints were discovered through a joint effort by the universities of Oxford and Birmingham. 166 MILLION YEARS OLDThe study indicated that the footprints are 166 million years old. PROVIDING IMPORTANT CLUESThe statement said, "These footprints reveal the movements of a long-necked sauropod called Cetiosaurus and a smaller carnivorous dinosaur known as Megalosaurus." Researchers noted that the discovery provides important clues about dinosaur behavior and their environment. "IT WAS SURREAL"Johnson, a quarry worker who was part of the discovery, said, "I hit a bump while clearing the clay. I thought it was an anomaly in the ground. But then I encountered another bump 3 meters ahead. And there was another bump 3 meters further." Since another footprint area had been found in a nearby region in the 1990s, the excavator operator, who believed these footprints belonged to dinosaurs, told BBC News, "I thought I was the first person to see them. It was very surreal. It was a bit of an exciting moment." "YOU CAN IMAGINE"Kirsty Edgari, a micropaleontologist at the University of Birmingham, stated, "This is one of the most impressive footprint areas I have seen in terms of scale and the size of the footprints. You can imagine a time when these massive creatures roamed and went about their business."
