Really?
From the LBC website.

A woman has discovered a massive dinosaur footprint on a beach in Yorkshire.
The fossil is the largest dinosaur foot print ever found in the county and was made when Marie Woods was collecting shellfish along the coast.

Seems awfully recent for a dinosaur to leave a footprint. I thought they were all extinct.

I assume they meant that she made the discovery then, but who knows? Maybe the Jurassic Coast has Anthropocene competition?

And the BBC website reported it as a “thirty foot dinosaur footprint”. Wow! The whole dinosaur must have been bigger than Godzilla.

Didn't track it down, but could it possibly have been the footprint of a 30-foot dinosaur, with bad writing?

I have no idea whether the dinosaur could write or not. Big Grin

(But of course they mean the dinosaur was thirty foot long rather than the footprint. )
