BEIJING (AFP) – Archaeologists in China have uncovered more than 3,000 dinosaur footprints, state media reported, in an area said to be the world's largest grouping of fossilised bones belonging to the ancient animals.

The footprints, believed to be more than 100 million years old, were discovered after a three-month excavation at a gully in Zhucheng in the eastern province of Shandong, the Xinhua news agency reported.

The prints range from 10 to 80 centimetres (four to 32 inches) in length, and belonged to at least six different kinds of dinosaurs, including tyrannosaurs, the report said Saturday.

Wang Haijun, a senior engineer at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said the prints faced the same direction, Xinhua said.
This indicated a possible migration or a panic escape by plant-eating dinosaurs after an attack by predators, Wang added.

I mean really, all the dinosaurs heading in the same direction. What do you think they were chasing? Tasty, tasty people!

7. It is SOOOOO obvious!

If Jesus is riding the dinosaur, he will not leave footprints. No wonder there are no human footprints mixed in, they are all on dino back!

when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
