A 10-year-old girl finds 220 million-year-old dinosaur tracks

  • A 10-year-old found 220 million-year-old dinosaur tracks in Wales while hunting for fossils.
  • Tegan Jones and her mother found the tracks, which had not been seen for over 140 years.
  • One expert believes that a type of long-necked dinosaur called Camelotia may have left the footprints.

You probably left a lot of tracks in the mud and sand, but the chances of them still being there are pretty slim. The same is true of dinosaurs, which is why a 10-year-old’s discovery of a set of 220-million-year-old tracks is quite remarkable.

Tegan Jones was looking for fossils last year with her mother, Claire Jones, when she saw the tracks.

Others have found dinosaur tracks in this area of ​​Wales. So the mother-daughter duo thought the tracks were already well-known when they came across them.

It wasn’t until they got home and compared their photos to others online that they realized the pieces were different.

“It was amazing to think that we discovered something from 220 million years ago,” Claire Jones told Business Insider via email.
