Researchers have discovered the UK’s biggest-ever dinosaur trackway site in a quarry in Oxfordshire. They found nearly 200 huge footprints, which date back to around 166 million years ago.

Nearly 200 Jurassic footprints found in southern England reveal new insights into 166 million-year-old prehistoric creatures, according to scientists.

From roughly 230-200 million years ago, during the Late Triassic and into the early Jurassic periods, dinosaurs emerged from just one of many reptilian species to become the dominant species on Earth.

Meanwhile, non-dinosaurs – like the 1-tonne, plant-eating dicynodont Lisowicia, whose faeces contained mainly conifer remains – were less able to adapt to the changing variety of vegetation.

Slightly more recent dinosaur dung belonged to early carnivores and small herbivores. Even younger bromalites were linked to the emergence of the first large herbivorous dinosaurs, sauropodomorphs.
