About 200 huge footprints, left by vast dinosaurs in the Jurassic period 166 million years ago, have been found in a limestone quarry in Oxfordshire in England.
They reveal the comings and goings of two different types of dinosaurs that are thought to be a long-necked sauropod called Cetiosaurus and the smaller meat-eating Megalosaurus. The longest trackways are 150m in length, but they could extend much further as only part of the quarry has been excavated.
The tracks were first spotted by Gary Johnson, a worker at Dewars Farm Quarry, while he was driving a digger.
“I was basically clearing the clay, and I hit a hump, and I thought it’s just an abnormality in the ground,” he said, pointing to a ridge where some mud has been pushed up as a dinosaur’s foot pressed down into the earth.

Keep telling these lies to stay relevant,
some guy must’ve created those like a couple of weeks ago haha
Keep believing in this bullshiz
now they reuploaded this and removed the banner hahahahaha
is it not the space appears to be too close with each other?
Wow.
I once found dinosaur and alien footprints next to each other with bone in between!!
So why are you wearing a helmet? Falling Dino’ eggs?
Found by some lying masons no doubt.
As usual, no actual footage of the moment any of these were being dug out.
Look up duping delight.
Can find dinosaur evidence but nothing on GOD
how do the footprints remain for so many years like even just after the moment when they were created how did they not get fill up in like months or years time and of course there would have been more dinosaurs around that region why arent they seen/present?
Interesting. But how about explaining the most obvious part, how did you come up with them being 166 million years old. Evidence pls.
Girls graped all over England but look here!
Two dominant dates for creation using such models exist, about 5500 BC and about 4000 BC. These were calculated from the genealogies in two versions of the Bible, with most of the difference arising from two versions of Genesis. crazy that they was long before this ??
Still spitting the bs narrative of "millions of years." Funny how it has now jumped to "166." When are you going to finally admit your carbon dating records are inconsistent? Or when are you going to tell the public that we have evidence of "Dragons," living with man from different cultures? Or the fact that we have found Dinosaur skin with blood on it, that can not predate over 10.000 years? The BBC should really start checking where they get their sources from?
"166 million years" live on earth is not that old.. more like 5000-6000 years ago
The site of these dinosaur tracks provoke feelings of awe and wonder and help us to understand our place in evolution. I hope that the quarry owners are able find a way of preserving them with help from the Universities. It's great they have gathered digital data, but wouldn't it be sacrilege to let them be destroyed? Surely this location should be considered a site of special scientific interest and a national monument that could one day be open to the public – perhaps with an onsite visitor information centre, which could bring in revenue long after all the stone has been extracted.
Just wow!
What ??? Insane: It may sound off topic but I chanced on this cool translator that does everything and more of what a translator should have, name is Immersive Translate and one thing that can really help is it’s new feature, which lets you create a custom AI expert for translating anything. Thank me later, it's gold.
Since it's the largest track field ever found in Britain, the site should be preserved, but it likely won't be seeing that it's in an active quarry and the bulldozers and dump trucks likely won't stop working and just go away. Similar sites around the world have been protected and now attract tourists. When I was younger, I found a few tracks in a row of some kind of small birdlike (I think) creature on flat bedrock in a creek bed in Upper Bucks County in Pennsylvania. I hadn't thought of them for many years before I watched this video. I wonder if I can find them again in the springtime?🤔 I first found them while fishing in the mid 90's so with all the severe storms since then I don't know if its even possible anymore. They could be under a lot of silt and debris after all this time.
