A worker digging up clay in a southern England limestone quarry noticed unusual bumps that led to the discovery of a 'dinosaur highway' and nearly 200 tracks that date back 166 million years, researchers said Thursday.

The discovery, announced Thursday by the universities of Oxford and Birmingham, was made last summer when a worker digging up clay in a quarry in Oxfordshire noticed unusual bumps.

Researchers have discovered the UK’s biggest-ever dinosaur trackway site in a quarry in Oxfordshire. They found nearly 200 huge footprints, which date back to around 166 million years ago. The discovery was made by researchers from the Universities of Oxford and Birmingham.

In a stunning find, researchers from the Universities of Oxford and Birmingham have uncovered a huge expanse of quarry floor filled with hundreds of different dinosaur footprints, creating multiple enormous trackways.
