Science Daily => Carnivorous Dinosaur Tracks Discovered In Australia
The three separate dinosaur tracks are about 14 inches long, show at least two or three partial toes, and were likely made by large carnivorous dinosaurs (theropods) on river floodplains about 115 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period. Based on track sizes, Martin estimates that these dinosaurs were 4.6 to 4.9 feet tall at the hip, large by human standards but about 20 percent smaller than Allosaurus, a large theropod from the Jurassic Period.
Australia and Antarctica were joined during the Cretaceous and sat near the south pole.
My question is: Are dinosaur walking appendages called paws or feet? The post title doesn’t sound so good as “Southern Feet.â€
What’s on my iTunes right now?
