A “dinosaur highway” has been discovered in Oxfordshire, England. This is what experts are calling a set of dinosaur tracks that have been uncovered. The find was announced in January. There are more than 200 prints. They date back 166 million years.
Worker Gary Johnson found the tracks in June 2023. It was an accident. He noticed strange bumps in the ground. A team investigated the bumps. They turned out to be dinosaur tracks. The team took pictures and made molds of the prints.
Concrete molds are made of the footprints.

The prints are very detailed, Duncan Murdock said. He’s an Earth scientist. They show “how the mud was deformed” as the dinosaurs walked, he says. They could tell scientists how big the dinos were, and how they moved.
