Matching Dinosaur Footprints Across Continents Reveal Ancient Superhighway

260 near-identical tracks in Brazil and Cameroon suggest a prehistoric corridor connecting South America and Africa 120 million years ago.

Researchers found over 260 dinosaur footprints in Brazil and Cameroon, separated by 3,700 miles today.
The footprints, primarily from three-toed theropods, date back to the Early Cretaceous period, about 120 million years ago.
Geological analysis indicates these regions were once connected as part of the supercontinent Gondwana.
The discovery highlights an ancient land bridge that allowed dinosaurs to migrate between the two continents.
This finding provides new insights into the movement and distribution of prehistoric life before the continents drifted apart.
