The footprints, impressed into mud and silt along ancient rivers and lakes, were found more than 3,700 miles, or 6,000 kilometers, away from each other. Dinosaurs made the tracks 120 million years ago on a single supercontinent known as Gondwana—which broke off from the larger landmass of Pangea, Jacobs said.
What a neat find!
Dinosaur teleportation technology proved!
No, they swam. Like iguanas. Duh.
I think only the Voth developed that tech.
Pffffft
The Voth are pushovers, I can destroy one of their city ships with a Miranda Class.
Oh what’s with the 15 other ships flying around the area? Don’t mind them. Just my bros. Totally solo’d. Mhmm.
Man, what is it with Sci fi and having futuristic tech from Dino-descendants.
I’m not complaining, I want more.
Fun fact: dinosaurs that lived a long time ago had feet, just like the dinosaurs that live today also have feet.
Yes, but they generally had twice as many back then.
Bring the extra feet back!

One of the many pieces of the puzzle of plate tectonics that was finished in the middle 1900s. Before that, people had crazy ideas.
It is a relief that there are no continental drift deniers.
Yeah, that’s not true. Pangaea is a libtard hoax designed by the globalists to make you think the world was smaller at a time and normalise everyday Americans losing their jobs to China. In reality China has always been this far away and stone age American traders would have also had high import tax on shoddy imported axes and knives.
Everybody knows Americans in the ancient era should focus on scouting its home continent so you can plan and maximise the manifest destiny modifier
That’s only because it’s too abstract a concept for them to get riled up about. They just fold it into their young earth creationism and go on not thinking about it because it hurts their head.
We also have bands of fossil animals and plants that extend across the split. There’s lots not support for Pangea.
Pangaea, she reaches through the eons
The dishes are done, man!
So does this just prove the same species existed between the two or are these actually like from the same dinosaur, at the same time, and then got separated
I’m assuming the same species. But if it was the same dino at same time, that’d be badass! But I just don’t think that would be possible to know.
Actually it was the same Apatosaurus, Triceratops, Saurolophus, Pteranodon, and Stegosaurus tracks on both sides. They led into this hard to find valley.
I’m not seeing where it says specifically says that the tracks were made by the same individual dinosaurs, rather than by the same types of dinosaurs. The footprints found in Brazil and Cameroon are described as being “almost identical” in shape, and they are attributed to similar species, such as theropods, sauropods, or ornithischians.
The focus of the article is on the matching footprints being evidence that land-dwelling dinosaurs of similar species could move across the continents before they split, rather than suggesting they were left by the exact same individual dinosaurs.
Or is there a different article that is about these same footprints that says they are the same individuals?
Pretty sure they’re just making a Land Before Time reference, not a serious claim (did those species even live during the same time periods in real life?)
Oh ok! haha I didn’t get the reference. My bad!
Don’t feel bad, it took until “valley” for me to realize, and those movies were my jam as a child.
Those are my exact thoughts
That’s both cool and hot
That’s a heck of a stride, wow
