Paleontologists in eastern France have reported the discovery of some of the largest dinosaur footprints ever documented.
The site of the find, high in the Jura mountains, was once a literal sauropod stomping ground: So far, 20 prints scattered on a 10-hectare (25-acre) site have been uncovered.
Researchers believe there are hundreds, or even thousands, more still hidden, Mazin said.

The Jura mountains gave the Jurassic period their name because rocks from the period were found there. Back then, the area resembled the Bahamas, all water and islands.
