Fossilised tracks of a group of plant-eating dinosaurs have been found in Lesotho’s Roma Valley for the first time.
This was an area in which early anatomically modern humans survived, evolved and thrived, before spreading out of Africa to other continents.
It hasn’t been clear how common the species was on the Cape south coast because its body fossils are predominantly from southern Africa’s west coast.
Fossil footprints are a treasure chest of information.
