Nearly 200 Jurassic footprints unearthed on ‘dinosaur highway’
恐龍高速公路:近兩百件出土的侏儸紀足跡
Scientists have unearthed nearly 200 dinosaur footprints, dating back 166 million years to the Middle Jurassic Period, at Dewars Farm Quarry in Oxfordshire, England.
The remarkable find, first spied in 2023 when quarry worker Gary Johnson sensed “unusual bumps” on the ground while extracting limestone for road construction, has been nicknamed the “dinosaur highway” as a nod to the extensive pathways left by these prehistoric creatures.
科學家在英國在戴華斯採石場牛津郡挖掘出土將近兩百件恐龍足跡，追溯一億六千六百萬年到中古侏儸紀時期。明顯發現、在2023年採石場工人蓋瑞偵測到第一個標本─在道路工程掏金時，發現不太尋常的凸起物在地上，就命名為恐龍高速公路。這像是對史前生物的遼闊遺跡表示贊同。
