A four-year-old girl has discovered a 220-million-year-old dinosaur footprint in a beach in South Wales.
Lily Wilder‘s amazing discovery could help scientists understand how dinosaurs walked since it is a 220 million-year-old footprint. While walking along a beach near Barry, she found the 10-cm long footprint that appears to be from a 75cm slender animal.
Lily’s mother Sally told NBC News, “It was Lily and Richard (her father) who discovered the footprint. Lily saw it when they were walking along and said ‘daddy look’. When Richard came home and showed me the photograph, I thought it looked amazing,”
