Dinosaur footprints found near La Plagne, Savoie

FOSSIL hunters have found what is believed to be some of the largest ever dinosaur footprints in the Jura Mountains of eastern France.

The footprints are believed to be around 150 million years old, are about 1.5m wide and were made by a large herbivore weighing around 30 tonnes.
