Researchers have uncovered the world’s largest dinosaur footprints along the Dampier Peninsula in Western Australia. The biggest footprint measures about 1.7 meters (over 5.5 feet) long, making it the largest ever recorded, says Guinness World Records. Experts say an adult could comfortably curl up inside one of these huge prints. These footprints are in sandstone from the Early Cretaceous period, roughly 130 million years ago. Teams from the University of Queensland and James Cook University linked these massive tracks to sauropods—long-necked plant eaters that reached about 5.3 to 5.5 meters tall at the hip. The site, part of the Broome Sandstone formation, is a treasure chest for dinosaur lovers. Over 150 tracks from at least 21 types of dinosaurs, including meat-eaters (theropods), two-legged plant eaters (ornithopods), armored dinosaurs (thyreophorans), and more sauropods, have been found here. Called Australia’s own Jurassic Park, this area offers one of the world’s most varied dinosaur tracksites. The tracks are often visible only during low tide in the intertidal zone, creating unique conditions for discovery. Importantly, this site also includes the first confirmed stegosaur footprints in Australia, proving these dinosaurs once roamed the land. These footprints do more than show size—they capture how dinosaurs moved and lived. They freeze moments from the distant past, giving scientists real insight into dinosaur behavior, not just bones. This discovery shines a bright light on the lively and mighty world of ancient dinosaurs in the southern supercontinent Gondwana. If you visit Western Australia’s coast at low tide, you’ll be stepping close to a giant prehistoric story frozen in stone.
