Move over, Jurassic Park—China’s Fujian Province just dropped a prehistoric bombshell! 🌍 Scientists announced the discovery of the world’s largest deinonychosaur tracks in Lincheng Town, revealing clawed footprints that’d make Velociraptors jealous. 😱
The site, dubbed the Longxiang tracksite, is a dino detective’s dream. Researchers from China University of Geosciences and the Yingliang Stone Natural History Museum identified eight types of dinosaur tracks, including 12 two-toed prints. Five of these are massive—think 36 cm long (that’s longer than your foot!)—and belong to a newly named species: Fujianipus yingliangi. 🦖✨
Why the hype? These tracks suggest Fujian was once ruled by apex predators with serious swagger. The find also highlights China’s growing role in rewriting dino history. As one researcher put it: “Every track is a time capsule… and Fujian just opened a new chapter.” 📖💥
