With advanced 3D imaging and light filters, I was able to reveal hidden details in the footprints,” he added in the press release.
These techniques detected the subtle nuances of each footprint, providing insights into the dinosaurs’ movement and behavior.
Even more surprisingly, the research team uncovered another fossil sample — quite literally hiding in plain sight. This second rock, far larger than the school’s boulder, was being used as a simple car park entry delineator at the Callide Mine.
This unexpected find revealed two distinct footprints, larger than those found at the school, suggesting they were left by a slightly larger, bipedal dinosaur.
