flag UK researchers found a 220-meter-long sauropod trackway in Oxfordshire, revealing dinosaur behavior and ancient coastal life from 166 million years ago.

flag In 2025, UK researchers uncovered a 220-meter-long sauropod trackway at Dewars Farm Quarry in Oxfordshire, one of Europe’s longest known dinosaur trails from the Middle Jurassic Period, around 166 million years ago. flag The site, revealed after a controlled explosion, features large footprints up to one meter long, likely made by dinosaurs like Cetiosaurus, along with smaller carnivore tracks and marine fossils, indicating a coastal lagoon environment. flag Despite dry conditions limiting excavation, the team documented rare behavioral clues, such as a possible pause in movement, and collected sediment for future study. flag The discovery, involving over 100 participants, enhances understanding of dinosaur behavior and ancient ecosystems.
