TL;DR Summary

Scientists have identified a new dinosaur species, named Farlowichnus rapidus, based on footprints found in Brazil. The footprints, discovered in the 1980s, belonged to a small, agile carnivorous dinosaur that lived approximately 125 million years ago. The unique characteristics of the footprints, including long, slender toes and a wide stride, suggest that this dinosaur was adapted to desert environments. The discovery highlights the importance of studying fossil trackways to gain insights into the diversity and behavior of ancient dinosaurs.
