  • Paleontologists found matching Early Cretaceous dinosaur footprints in Brazil and Cameroon, showing where dinosaurs walked before Africa and South America split.
  • The footprints, mostly from three-toed theropods, date back 120 million years and reveal how dinosaurs migrated across the supercontinent Gondwana.
  • Geological evidence supports that these areas were connected before the continents drifted apart, forming the South Atlantic Ocean.
