Summary

Researchers in southern England uncovered nearly 200 dinosaur tracks, dubbed a “dinosaur highway,” dating back 166 million years to the Middle Jurassic period.

Excavated at Dewars Farm Quarry in Oxfordshire, the tracks include paths from sauropods like Cetiosaurus and carnivorous Megalosaurus, the first dinosaur ever named.

The site reveals detailed footprints, suggesting movements, interactions, and the tropical environment of that era.

Modern imaging and 3D modeling captured extensive data for future study, marking a significant expansion of prior discoveries in the region.

Findings will feature in a museum exhibit and a BBC program.
