Matching dinosaur footprints found more than 3,700 miles apart, on different continents
CBSN
A team of paleontologists found matching dinosaur footprints on what are now two different continents, separated by thousands of miles of ocean.
The footprints, dating back to the Early Cretaceous period, were found in Brazil and in Cameroon, researchers wrote in a study published Monday by the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science. The discovery shows where land-dwelling dinosaurs were able to cross freely between South America and Africa before the two continents split apart millions of years ago.
