Scientists Discover Similar Dinosaur Footprints on Opposite Sides of the Atlantic

Fossilized footprints of early humans or animals found in African rock formations.

An interesting discovery of similar dinosaur prints in Brazil and Cameroon suggest that they once roamed along a narrow corridor between these continents prior to their split. Preserved in mud and silt, these 260 prints date back approximately 120 million years to a time when Africa and South Africa were connected in a supercontinent, known as Gondwana.
