This picture that accompanied the Reuters story, `Unique' dinosaur footprints discovered, gives a little better overview of the scale of these footprints.


Patrice Landry (R) and Marie-Helene Marcaud, discoverers and members of an amateur science society specialising in geology and paleontology, pose next to well-preserved footprints, between 1.5 and two metres in diameter, in Plagne eastern France October 6, 2009.

Still, these were found by skilled amateurs and not some random person walking around. I think they well deserve the attention they're getting.

I'm not quite understanding what I'm seeing.

Is that whole area they're standing in a footprint?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

There even might be a fifth one that´s partially visible.

Geology ain´t hard. :)

Since the largest found until now in Europe were found recently a few dinosaur steps away (about 200km, actually), I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people were actively searching for others.
