A 220 million year old dinosaur footprint has been discovered by a 4-year-old child on a Welsh beach.
Lily Wilder found the footprint in good condition earlier this month in Bendricks Bay, and scientists say it could help them understand how dinosaurs walked. National Museum of Wales paleontology curator Cindy Howells told the BBC that the tweed, which is nearly four inches long, is “the best sample ever found on the beach seo. “
Wilder found the print while walking on the beach with her father, Richard Wilder, according to the report.
“Lily saw him as they walked along and said, ‘Look daddy,'” said her mother Sally Wilder. “When Richard came home and showed me the picture, I thought it looked amazing.”
Scientists said they could not tell what kind of dinosaur left the footprint preserved in mud.
