Didcot Cafe Scientifique, Tuesday 19th January 2027, 7.30-9pmSpeaker Duncan Murdock, talk on Uncovering Oxfordshire’s Dinosaur Highway
In a stunning find, researchers from the Universities of Oxford and Birmingham have uncovered a huge expanse of quarry floor filled with hundreds of different dinosaur footprints, creating multiple enormous trackways. Dating back to the Middle Jurassic Period (around 166 million years ago), the trackways form part of a huge ‘dinosaur highway’ and include footprints from the 9 metre ferocious predator Megalosaurus, and herbivorous dinosaurs up to twice that size.
