Ancient Dinosaur Footprints Discovered at Chinese Restaurant

TL;DR Summary
Dinosaur footprints around 100 million years old were discovered under a restaurant table in China. The footprints were confirmed to be from sauropods, plant-eating dinosaurs that grew to enormous sizes, using 3D scanners. The footprints were estimated to be from a 10-meter-long sauropod. The discovery provides invaluable information about the types of dinosaurs that lived in the area, as there is no skeletal record of dinosaurs in the region. The footprints date back to the Lower Cretaceous and are the footprints of a Brontopodus type sauropod.
