Matching Dinosaur Footprints Discovered on Separate Continents

New research reveals 260 footprints in Brazil and Cameroon, highlighting prehistoric connections between South America and Africa.

Footprints date back 120 million years to the Early Cretaceous period.
Most prints were made by three-toed theropod dinosaurs, with some by sauropods and ornithischians.
The footprints were found in ancient river and lake sediments, now 3,700 miles apart.
The discovery supports the theory of a land bridge between South America and Africa before continental drift.
Researchers published their findings in a study by the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science.
