"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."
