Excavation of 'Dinong Expressway' with 200 footprints

[Anchor]
Five so-called dinosaur "bo processions" with more than 200 dinosaur footprints were excavated at one place at a time.

This is the first time that dinosaur traces have appeared on such a large scale.

Reporter Hwang Bo-sun reports.

You can see the path that leads to a straight line.

We also have footprints.

It is not made these days, but the footprints of dinosaurs that lived in the mid-Jurassic Period of the Mesozoic Era 166 million years ago.

The number of footprints is about 200.

It is the first time in the UK that several dinosaur footprints have come out at once, and it is a rare case in the world.

[Richard Butler / Paleontologist] Nowhere in England has so many dinosaur footprints. In other words, it's the largest dinosaur footprint site.]

Five dinosaur highways and walking racks have been excavated here.

The longest one reaches 150 meters.

You can also see rows of walkers meeting each other like intersections.

Megalosaurus, famous for its herbivorous and carnivorous dinosaurs called Cetiosaur, was a path that walked through the lagoon swamp at the time of its habitat.

[Emma Nicholls / Oxford University Museum of Natural History] It's only been a few days since we started excavating, but we've found a walking sequence over and over again. It's very interesting that there's even an intersection.

The first person to detect the dinosaur footprints is this quarry worker.

In June last year, while pushing away the soil above the rock, I found traces of giant reptiles.
