Dinosaur footprints from Africa and South America are a match

The tracks from a once-unified landmass are now 3,700 miles and an ocean apart.

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.
