. The are five trackways of which four were made by the herbivore Sauropods. This is significant because Sauropods track sites are comparatively rare. Further, the new findings connect to the dinosaur trackways discovered in the same area in 1997. The research team has documented the new footprints in unprecedented detail and built detailed 3D models of the site for future study in dinosaur science for shedding light on Earth’s heritage.){kind=link}
