Carnivorous theropod dinosaur footprint
Dinosaur footprint. View of a dinosaur footprint (centre right) in sandstone, made by a carnivorous theropod. It is from the middle Jurassic period (175-180 million years ago). This footprint was made in the soft mud of a coastal flood plain. This was later covered by a layer of sediment, preserving the footprint. The footprint was later exposed by erosion. Theropods were nearly all two- legged carnivores, the most famous of which was Tyrannosaurus rex. Footprints such as this show that theropods moved faster and more purposefully in their movements than large plant- eating dinosaurs. Photographed at the Burniston Dinosaur Beds, North Yorkshire, England

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable discovery from the ancient world - a carnivorous theropod dinosaur footprint. Imprinted in sandstone, this fossilized evidence of prehistoric life dates back to the middle Jurassic period, approximately 175-180 million years ago. The footprint was formed when the theropod traversed through soft mud on a coastal flood plain, leaving behind an indelible mark that would endure for millennia. Preserved beneath layers of sediment and concealed over time, this extraordinary relic emerged once again through erosion. Its intricate details provide valuable insights into the behavior and movement patterns of these formidable creatures. Known for their bipedal stance and predatory nature, theropods were fearsome hunters, with Tyrannosaurus rex being one of their most iconic representatives. Contrasting with large plant-eating dinosaurs who roamed leisurely across landscapes, footprints like this reveal that theropods possessed agility and purpose in their locomotion. This particular specimen was captured at Burniston Dinosaur Beds in North Yorkshire, England - an area rich in paleontological treasures. As we gaze upon this photograph from Science Photo Library's collection, we are transported back to an era long gone but forever imprinted within Earth's geological tapestry. It serves as a testament to our fascination with uncovering the mysteries of our planet's past and understanding the awe-inspiring diversity that once inhabited it.
