170-million-year-old dinosaur footprints found in Scotland
About 50 dinosaur footprints estimated to be around 170 million years old were discovered on the north-west coast of Scotland. They belonged to two distinct dinosaur species, long-necked plant-eating sauropods and meat-eating theropods. The find is touted to be globally important as it is a rare evidence of the Middle Jurassic period, with very few fossil sites around the world.
