Matching dinosaur footprints found on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean
Matching dinosaur footprints found on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean
An international team of researchers led by SMU paleontologist Louis L. Jacobs has found matching sets of Early Cretaceous dinosaur footprints on what are now two different continents.
The footprints, impressed into mud and silt along ancient rivers and lakes, were found more than 3,700 miles, or 6,000 kilometers, away from each other. Dinosaurs made the tracks 120 million years ago on a single supercontinent known as Gondwana—which broke off from the larger landmass of Pangea, Jacobs said.
43What a neat find!

Dinosaur teleportation technology proved!
25I think only the Voth developed that tech.
5Pffffft
The Voth are pushovers, I can destroy one of their city ships with a Miranda Class.
Oh what's with the 15 other ships flying around the area? Don't mind them. Just my bros. Totally solo'd. Mhmm.
Man, what is it with Sci fi and having futuristic tech from Dino-descendants.
I'm not complaining, I want more.

No, they swam. Like iguanas. Duh.

Fun fact: dinosaurs that lived a long time ago had feet, just like the dinosaurs that live today also have feet.
14Yes, but they generally had twice as many back then.
8Bring the extra feet back!

It is a relief that there are no continental drift deniers.
7Yeah, that's not true. Pangaea is a libtard hoax designed by the globalists to make you think the world was smaller at a time and normalise everyday Americans losing their jobs to China. In reality China has always been this far away and stone age American traders would have also had high import tax on shoddy imported axes and knives.
9Everybody knows Americans in the ancient era should focus on scouting its home continent so you can plan and maximise the manifest destiny modifier

That's only because it's too abstract a concept for them to get riled up about. They just fold it into their young earth creationism and go on not thinking about it because it hurts their head.
3Let me tell you about these people that call themselves "flat-earthers"...

So does this just prove the same species existed between the two or are these actually like from the same dinosaur, at the same time, and then got separated
5I'm assuming the same species. But if it was the same dino at same time, that'd be badass! But I just don't think that would be possible to know.

One of the many pieces of the puzzle of plate tectonics that was finished in the middle 1900s. Before that, people had crazy ideas.
5We also have bands of fossil animals and plants that extend across the split. There's lots
notof support for Pangea.3Pangaea, she reaches through the eons
3The dishes are done, man!

That's a heck of a stride, wow
3insane power stance, something straight out of an anime with the character standing on either side of an expanding chasm

That's both cool and hot
