Researchers are studying a dinosaur footprint fossil with four toe-prints instead of the typical three. The preserved track was found in northeast B.C. and researchers at the Royal BC Museum want to know what made the unusual footprint.
The fossilized prints were from a theropod dinosaur, which usually walk upright on their back legs. Theropods typically leave three-toed impressions in footprint fossils, but a track found near Hudson’s Hope clearly shows four toes.
