Dinosaur Tracks in Arabia

Scientists have found dinosaur tracks on the Arabian Peninsula, a discovery, believed to shed more light on where dinosaurs lived, their migration patterns and how they evolved the way they did.

The discovery of tracks of a large orni­thopod dinosaur and a herd of 11 sau­ropods walking along a coastal mudflat in Yemen was reported in the journal PLoS ONE. Preserved in rocks at the site are the footprints of 11 small and large sauropods long-necked, herbivorous dinosaurs that lived in the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
