UK's Largest Dinosaur Footprint Site Unearthed in Oxfordshire Quarry

Researchers discover 200 fossilized tracks from 166 million years ago, offering new insights into dinosaur behavior and movement.

The discovery includes five trackways with approximately 200 dinosaur footprints, making it the largest dinosaur footprint site ever found in the UK.
The tracks, dating back to the Middle Jurassic period, were left by herbivorous sauropods, likely Cetiosaurus, and the carnivorous Megalosaurus.
One trackway extends over 150 meters, with a crossing point where sauropod and Megalosaurus tracks intersect, suggesting potential interactions.
Advanced technology, including drone photography and 3D modeling, has allowed researchers to study the footprints in unprecedented detail.
The findings will be featured in a BBC documentary and an exhibition at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History later this month.
