Footprints found in Wales
Rarely, dinosaur footprints have been found on the coast in Glamorgan, Wales. These are about 20 million years old. They were discovered by a tourist in the year 2020 itself. After that, he informed about it at the Natural History Museum in London. Then scientists started studying it. After which it was told that these are very rare footprints. These are the marks of the time when the subcontinent Pang ea was safe.
What initially Scientist thought ?
Initially, scientists thought that these would be the result of some geological process. Because scientists were not able to confirm about it. But when they were compared and compared with the footprints of dinosaurs of the Triassic period, it was found that this is a very important discovery. These are the marks of the time when dinosaurs ruled the earth.
What says study ?
The study of the rare footprints of dinosaurs has been published in the journal Geological Magazine. Anthropology paleo biologist Paul Barrett said that we initially thought it was something else. But there was a gathering of animals on the coast even in ancient times. When we connected this place with the time of Triassic period, it came to know that these marks are of dinosaurs.
Paul told that the footprints on the coast are not well protected. But their tracks are visible up to 164 feet. Help was also taken from French scientists to confirm this study. Because these scientists had done a lot of work and research on the footprints of dinosaurs in the year 2010.
Impact of weather :
These footprints had withstood the wrath of the weather. But after examining them, it was found that these are the footprints of a very ancient creature. For many months, it remained a mystery as to whose footprints were so large. Because some marks are 1.6 long. According to which, they looked like a species of Sauropods.
How Dinosaur looks like ?
This herbivore species had a long neck. It had a tail and its legs were very thick. It was one of the largest dinosaurs on earth. Brontosaurus was the most famous sauropod dinosaur. But Brontosaurus came to earth after 200 million-year-old rare footprints found in Paleo biologist Susanna said that we know that ancient sauropods lived in Britain at that time. But we did not know that this species of dinosaur also makes roads. But on investigation it was found that these footprints are from 201 million to 23.70 million years old. This is when the United Kingdom used to be near the equator.
Paul Barrett says that we first thought that these marks belong to one dinosaur. But when the surrounding area was investigated, it was found that there are footprints of dinosaurs of different sizes. Because some marks are very big, some small and some very small. That is, a family or herd of dinosaurs must have passed through here.
The dinosaurs living in the Triassic period in Britain and its surroundings were not very large. But finding their footprints is a big discovery. We did not remove the footprints from there, it would have destroyed all the evidence. That's why they have been left there in a safe circle. Now the fate of these marks is on the waves of the sea
