A quarry worker in Southern England unearthed something that is dated at more than 166 million years old.
Back in June, a team of more than 100 people descended upon the Dewars Farm Quarry in Oxfordshire in southern England.
They came across unusual bumps, which turned out to be the discovery of a “dinosaur highway” that consisted of nearly 200 tracks and have been dated to be at least 166 million years old. “Scientists have known about and been studying Megalosaurus for longer than any other dinosaur on Earth, and yet these recent discoveries prove there is still new evidence of these animals out there, waiting to be found,” said Emma Nicholls, a vertebrate paleontologist at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.Just about three decades ago there were 40 tracks in a limestone quarry in the area.
