'Treasure trove' of dinosaur footprints found in southern England


More than 85 well-preserved dinosaur footprints—made by at least seven different species—have been uncovered in East Sussex, representing the most diverse and detailed collection of these trace fossils from the Cretaceous Period found in the UK to date.

The footprints were identified by University of Cambridge researchers between 2014 and 2018, following periods of coastal erosion along the cliffs near Hastings. Many of the footprints—which range in size from less than 2 cm to over 60 cm across—are so well-preserved that fine detail of skin, scales and claws is easily visible
