## Caption

“These footprints are insanely big.”
 
They were the colossal animals that roamed the Earth 166 million years ago.
 
Now in a quarry in Oxfordshire, England, a window into their prehistoric past is being revealed. 

Scientists descended on Dewars Farm Quarry this summer - and uncovered one of the longest trackways found anywhere in the world.
