Scientist discovered one of the biggest dinosaur footprints ever recorded. The Giant Dinosaur Footprint was unearthed in the Gobi Desert.
A joint Mongolian-Japanese expedition found the giant print, which measures 106 centimeters (42 inches) long and 77 centimeters wide.
According to the researchers one of several footprints discovered in the vast Mongolian desert, the huge fossil was discovered last month in a geologic layer formed between 70 million and 90 million years ago.
The Giant Dinosaur Footprint was naturally cast, as sand flowed into dents that had been left by the creature stomping on the once muddy ground.
Scientist believe that the footprint belonged to Titanosaur, a long-necked dinosaur, and could have been more than 30 meters long and 20 meters tall.
“This is a very rare discovery as it's a well-preserved fossil footprint that is more than a meter long with imprints of its claws," said a statement issued by Okayama University of Science.
The Japanese university has been involved in the study with the Mongolian Academy of Science.
