REHBURG-LOCCUM, GERMANY (WTXF) – - A group of archaeologists in Germany made the discovery of a lifetime after finding a trail of rare dinosaur footprints.

The footprints date back to around 145 million years ago and are 40 centimeters deep.

The dinosaur that left the footprints weighed up to 30 tons.

According to German scientists, the footprints belonged to a Sauropod, which belongs to a group of dinosaurs with long necks and tails.
