Footprints of last dinasours to walk on UK soil discovered in Kent - The Indian Express
“This is the first time dinosaur footprints have been found in strata known as the ‘Folkestone Formation’ and it’s quite an extraordinary discovery because these dinosaurs would have been the last to roam in this country before becoming extinct,” Professor of Palaeobiology, David Martill, said.The footprints are believed to be from a variety of dinosaurs, indicating a high diversity of dinosaurs in southern England at the end of the Early Cretaceous period, some 110 million years ago.The duo believes the footprints belong to ankylosaurs, rugged-looking armoured dinosaurs which were like living tanks; theropods, three-toed flesh-eating dinosaurs like the Tyrannosaurus rex; and ornithopods, plant-eating ‘bird-hipped dinosaurs so-called because of their pelvic structure being a little bit similar to birds.
