"Uncovering Ancient Connections: Dinosaur Footprints and 9000-Year-Old Rock Art in Brazil"

TL;DR Summary
Hunter-gatherers in Brazil created rock art next to fossilized dinosaur footprints dating back 9,400 years, as described in a study published in Scientific Reports. The petroglyphs, found at the Serrote do Letreiro site, were purposefully placed near the dinosaur tracks, with some appearing to illustrate the prints. The site, located near the Valley of the Dinosaurs, contains footprints from various dinosaur types, and the rock art is attributed to small seminomadic groups of hunter-gatherers who lived in the region between 9,400 and 2,620 years ago.
