Discovered dinosaur footprint 150 million years

The footprints of Eubrontes Gleneronsensis Theropod carnivores that lived 150 million years ago have been found in India's Thaiyat, Jaisalmer region.

The footprints of Eubrontes Gleneronsensis Theropod carnivores that lived 150 million years ago have been found in India's Thaiyat, Jaisalmer region.

A research team from Vyas Jainarayan University's geological department in Jodhpur, India discovered footprints of 150 million-year-old Eubrontes Gleneronsensis Theropod dinosaurs on the sandstone wall of Jaisalmer.

Eubrontes Gleneronsensis Theropod is a carnivorous dinosaur, about 1-3m tall and lives mainly in coastal environments. Fossils of this dinosaur have been excavated in many parts of the world such as France, Poland, Slovakia, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Australia and the US .

In India, the study recorded dinosaur eggs, bones and teeth. However, this is the first time archaeologists have discovered the footprints of Eubrontes Gleneronsensis theropod in India.

This new discovery belongs to three geologists working at Vyas Jainarayan University, including: Dr. Virendra Singh Parihar, Dr. Suresh Chandra Mathur and Dr. Shankar Lal Nama.

Dr. Parihar said: "Footprints of very large Eubrontes Gleneronsesis theropod dinosaur about 30 cm long and 3 thick, strong toes. Based on the size of the footprint, it is estimated that this animal is 1-3m high. and 5-7m long ".

According to Dr. Mathur, a co-researcher, this new discovery may open up prospects for finding dinosaur fossils in similar rocks.

This is important because Mathur and his colleagues once excavated the stratum containing a series of bones (and dead bodies) of dinosaurs, crocodiles, abdomen and fish. If a link between fossils is found, the research team will have the opportunity to explore the extinction cause of this dinosaur.
