This isn’t the first time somebody’s got guineafowl running to estimate dinosaur speeds, but the last time it was done, the ...
For years, the image of the Velociraptor and other two-legged dinosaurs zipping across the Earth at speeds nearing 40 mph has ...
"While trackways may offer important insights into locomotor behaviour in extinct dinosaurs, using them for anything but broad comparisons of relative speeds currently carries too much uncertainty ...
Trackways show how long a dinosaur's stride was. This can be interpreted from the spacing of the prints. It is sometimes also possible to estimate how fast the dinosaur was moving. A series of ...
The sauropod dinosaur trackways discovered on our trip are published today in the Scottish Journal of Geology. Steve and Tom get the credit for spotting the trackways—these tide pool indents on ...

The trackways, outlined in a study in the journal PLoS One today, were discovered in the forests of northeastern British Columbia in 2011. There are three in total—one has three prints, while ...
In this undated photo provided by the University of Birmingham on Thursday, Jan. 2, 2025, work underway as five extensive trackways that formed part of a "dinosaur highway" are uncovered, at ...
In an extraordinary paleontological finding, researchers have uncovered a series of massive dinosaur trackways dating back to the Middle Jurassic Period, approximately 166 million years ago.
Tracks were first discovered in the area in 1997, when limestone quarry workers stumbled upon more than 40 sets of dinosaur footprints, with some trackways reaching up to nearly 600 feet in length.
