Dinosaur tracks in Italy: discovery
About 20,000 tracks date back 190 million years
A photographer capturing deer and vultures in Italy accidentally noticed about 20,000 dinosaur footprints on a steep cliff approximately 2.5 km above sea level. Subsequent analysis by experts indicated that the footprints belonged to long-necked, bipedal herbivores, specifically relatives of plateosaurs, up to 10 m in length and weighing up to four tons. The discovery of these footprints confirms that large reptile-like herbivores lived in this part of Italy in the distant past, about 190 million years ago.
Summary:
In Italy, 20,000 dinosaur tracks dating back 190 million years were discovered during a random nature survey.
