Thousands of dinosaur footprints found on Italian mountain
Italian mountain reveals 210 million-year-old dinosaur footprints Thousands of dinosaur footprints, some up to 40cm in diameter, have been discovered in a national park in northern Italy. Thought to belong to prosauropods, herbivorous dinosaurs with long necks and sharp claws, the footprints are arranged in parallel rows and show traces of toes. Unearthed on a vertical mountain wall, these footprints offer a fascinating glimpse into dinosaur behavior during the Triassic period, with evidence of herds and complex group activities.
