Giant Dinosaur Footprints Found in Scotland

[Still Waters]

Dr Stephen Brusatte, a paleontologist with the University of Edinburgh, and his colleagues identified the fossilized dinosaur footprints, large and small, in layers of rock, which would have been at the bottom of a shallow, salt water lagoon when the prints were made.

The sauropod footprints were left in sediment nearly 170 million years ago (Jurassic period). They are the first sauropod tracks to be found in Scotland.

They wore Kilts too amazingly.

The footprints appear to stagger around. Perhaps a little too much Talisker Scotch?

Yep. And perhaps more of a rave than a disco. The good doctor obviously hasn't been out on the town for some time. (lol)

I would guess that's unlikely, but you never know, today's science fiction is often tomorrow's science fact. The problem would be even finding any surviving DNA. You have to have some starting point.

Let's see if they can bring back the Mammoth or the Thylacine, then we'll talk dinosaurs.
