A 10-year-old girl found 220-million-year-old dinosaur footprints on the beach

• A 10-year-old found 220-million-year-old dinosaur tracks in Wales while fossil hunting.
• Tegan Jones and her mother found the tracks, which hadn’t been seen in over 140 years.
• An expert thinks a type of long-necked dinosaur, called Camelotia, may have left the prints.

You’ve probably left many footprints in mud and sand but the chances they still exist are pretty slim. The same is true for dinosaurs, which is why a 10-year-old’s discovery of a set of 220-million-year-old tracks is pretty remarkable.

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

Others have found dinosaur footprints in this area of Wales. So, the mother-daughter duo thought the tracks were already well-known when they stumbled upon them.
