☆ Beachgoer stumbles upon record-breaking 3 foot-long dinosaur footprint left over 160 million years ago

A large dinosaur footprint left 166 million years ago was found on the British coast. It appears to capture the moment a Megalosaurus-like dinosaur stopped for a rest by the beach. The 3-foot-long footprint, discovered in Burniston Bay, captures the moment the dinosaur stopped to rest by the beach, according to new findings published Thursday. The footprint was likely left by a therapod, a class of two-legged dinosaurs with three toes that includes the Tyrannosaurus rex. The size of the footprint suggests the dinosaur was probably a Megalosaurus between 8 and 9 feet-high at the hip.
☆ Fenomenul neobișnuit al unei plaje, pe care oamenii de știință nu îl pot explica

Aceste formațiuni stranii ale plajei, cum ar fi și cele din Dorset, Anglia, se numesc plaje cuspide și unul dintre motivele pentru care sunt considerate misterioase este faptul că oamenii de știință încă nu cunosc în totalitate cum se formează ele. Cuspidele plajei, care se formează în timpul sau în urma unei furtuni, sunt neobișnuite, pentru că distanța dintre ele este uniformă și regulată. Dacă e să excludem faptul că ar putea fi treaba extratereștrilor, atunci există două teorii predominante despre formarea lor. Prima este „aflarea la margini”, teoria care implică interacțiunea dintre valurile normale care se apropie de țărm și valurile „margine”, care vin perpendicular spre mal. Mulți dintre cercetători consideră că ambele teorii pot funcționa în unison pentru a forma aceste structuri misterioase.
