Summary

The UK’s largest dinosaur footprint site, featuring about 200 tracks, has been unearthed in an Oxfordshire quarry.

The 166-million-year-old tracks, some stretching 150 meters, were made by long-necked sauropods like Cetiosaurus and carnivorous Megalosaurus.

The well-preserved prints offer insights into the movement and environment of these Jurassic dinosaurs, including where their paths crossed.

Discovered by a quarry worker, the site has been studied extensively with 3D models created.

Discussions are ongoing about preserving the trackways, with potential for uncovering more prints.
