Jurassic highway: Hundreds of dinosaur footprints found in UK quarry

Researchers have uncovered hundreds of dinosaur footprints dating back to the middle Jurassic era in a quarry in Oxfordshire, southern England. Paleobiologist Richard Butler said the dinosaur trackways at the excavation site stretched over 150 metres. Four of the tracks were made by gigantic, long-necked, herbivorous dinosaurs called sauropods, most likely to be Cetiosaurus, an up to 18-metre-long cousin of the well-known Diplodocus, they said. More than one hundred researchers excavated the site in June after a quarry worker first discovered the tracks.
