Minor girl discovers 220 million-year old dinosaur print
Washington DC: A four-year old girl has discovered a 220 million-year old Dinosaur footprint on Saturday in the Bendricks, a stretch of coastline between Barry and Sully, United Kingdom (UK).

As per details, Lily Wilder was walking along the coast between Barry and Sully with her parents when she spotted the giant print. The print was perfectly preserved in a rock.
The print was 10cm in length and likely of a 75cm tall dinosaur. Initially girl's family thought that the print may have been created by an artist.
“We weren’t even sure it was real. I was imagining an artist had gone down and scratched it out, but I knew dinosaur footprints had been found along that piece of coast before so I just thought I’d ask some people,” said Lily’s mother.
The print has been retrieved from the rock and is has been placed in the museum.
Renowned archeologist Karl-James Langford stated,“It’s so perfect and absolutely pristine, it’s a wonderful piece."
The archeologist further added that the piece is internationally important that’s why museum took it straight away.
"I would say it’s the best dinosaur footprint found in the UK in the past 10 years,” she added.
The Geologists Association South Wales Group have labelled ‘the Bendricks’ a site of special paleontology interest amid the dinosaur tracks there. The association have also named it the best site in Britain for dinosaur tracks of the Triassic Period.
