Dinosaur footprint
Dinosaur footprint. Dinosaur footprint made by a theropod. The theropod (meaning " beast-footed" ) dinosaurs were nearly all two-legged carnivores, the most famous of which was Tyrannosaurus rex. Footprints such as this, show that theropods moved faster and moved more purposefully than large plant-eating dinosaurs. Theropod fossils have been found from the late Triassic to the late Cretaceous periods (230-65 million years ago)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable dinosaur footprint, left behind by a mighty theropod. The term "theropod" translates to "beast-footed" and these awe-inspiring creatures were predominantly two-legged carnivores. Among them, the legendary Tyrannosaurus rex stands out as the most famous representative. The intricate details preserved in this fossilized footprint provide valuable insights into the behavior of theropods. It is evident that they possessed incredible speed and purposeful movement, distinguishing them from their larger plant-eating counterparts. As we gaze upon this ancient imprint, we can almost envision the swift strides taken by these magnificent predators millions of years ago. Theropod fossils have been discovered spanning an extensive timeline, ranging from the late Triassic to the late Cretaceous periods—dating back an astonishing 230-65 million years ago. These findings have revolutionized our understanding of prehistoric life and continue to fuel our fascination with dinosaurs. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this moment frozen in time—a testament to Earth's rich history and its extraordinary inhabitants. This print serves as a reminder of how much there still is to learn about our planet's past and how fortunate we are to have glimpses into worlds long gone.
