Kudos to the chap who knew his environment so well and was smart witted enough to investigate and realise what was there. So many wouldn’t have bothered. Hope he has a great 2025. He deserves some sort of official recognition!
Yeah I was really annoyed by that banner. Why that big and the placement of it was such it covered the view of the ground where they were filming the footprints. Totally daft editing. they should have it either at the top of the view out of the way of the main screen or at the very bottom of the view and half the height. just bad editing to cover up the thing your filmed by a banner that is not even needed after they 1st had it up! But back to the fossil foot prints, totally amazing to see. They said they may not be able to save them because of the site being still used? But with some careful work they could cut the top thick layer the foot prints are in out as a thick stone slab say 3 times the thickness as the prints are maybe supported by resin on the top layer and slide it out and wrap up and send to the Lab to save the prints as a thick slab of rock. the Site owners would be paid for that and get some public fame too.
In the state of Utah in the USA there is a museum of dinosaur tracks. When they were discovered it was decided that rather than moving the tracks to a museum, they would build the museum around the tracks. It is a very interesting place!
Mate, this is the UK, we build on top of everything with any historical importance, but as long as we take pictures to remember what it looked like its ok.
@@frazerbond3413 There's a similar museum for an excavated sinkhole full of colombian mammoths in South Dakota. They built a warehouse sized museum around the site and are still digging. It apparently still is less than half excavated and they've been digging since the 80s.
I think the quarry deserve a lot of credit for alerting the palaeontologists to the find and not destroy the tracks because they would be a nuisance to their business. The aerial shot of a person walking along the tracks, really made clear how large these animals were. It gave me a far better appreciation than even a skeleton in a museum. A very fascinating find and as was pointed out in the video, allows for a greater understanding of the dinosaurs.

So sad that these footprints might not be able to be preserved physically because they were found in a working quarry. I hope the paleontologists are able to preserve as much as possible (though if it were me I'd turn the quarry into a museum!)
Unfortunately few footprints can be preserved in situ. If they were left exposed they would be eroded naturally by wind and rain. Museums hardly have space for bones, let alone hundreds of tons of rock even with impressions. Best case is the quarry finds a private buyer who uses the prints to decorate their garden or something.
Born & grew up in the village next to this site, in the old quarry no longer used over the road from this one we were always finding fossils & bones from this old seaside, great times as a kid in the school holidays & still collecting now.
I hope they are preserved where they are for the public to see. Digital records won’t inspire future generation as much as seeing the actual footsteps in person. Those dinosaur footprints have survived millions of years and shouldn’t be destroyed by us, they should be maintained, shown and celebrated.

Great reporting. Sadly another example of thoughtless red banners covering key parts of the video. If the BBC is not bothered to be sensitive in editing, it should train its videographers to keep important conten to the upper three quarters of the frame. Bah, Humbug!
You put a big red BBC banner over the top of the footprints masking what the whole story is about.... Who is editing your videos should be let go and replaced with someone more competent,.
Most Christians don’t actually believe the earth is that recent. There’s plenty of room for both science and religion to go hand in hand, hence why the vatican has an observatory.
dear BBC. you don't need a giant red banner covering the bottom of the screen for the ENTIRE video. I mean, come on, are you employing 10 year old kids to do your graphics and layouts???
This is fascinating. I became interested in dinosaurs in 2nd grade. In 1963 my junior high Earth Science teacher was invited by a landowner in Socorro, New Mexico to examine the underside of a rock slab that was leaning against a cliff face. He said it looked like a dinosaur dance floor. My teacher was able to bring back several natural sand stone castings of 3-toed footprints found on the same piece of land and mount them on the patio outside of our classroom in Los Alamos.
I am so glad the BBC decided to share it with the public. The banner. If they hadn’t written on it, what’s going on in the video which I couldn’t see, I would had to rely fully on the audio. And we all know one can’t trust audio alone these days.
😂😂😂😂 And since when have you been able to decide what news broadcast by the BBC is valuable or not? Mind you it's hardly news if it concerns dinosaurs loafing about 160 odd million years ago.
Fair play to that quarry for allowing a bunch of students to have the use of the quarry, which is after all, a business and fair play to the driver of the Earth mover, who recognised the dinosaur footprint. How many of us would have done that?? We like to think we would, but I dunno about you. I've never seen a dinosaur footprint.
I agree it should be preserved. Saying the needs of the few outweighs the needs of the many doesn't exactly fit here though as it's a quarry supplying materials that we all need.

Guys, the banner is part of an anti-copying feature. BBC do not want others to take the video and use in their contents without acknowledging BBC. PS. Your comments are very funny though.
we should contemplate how long these animals lived on the planet - millions of years - in relation to how short a time homo sapiens have been active and realise how fragile our existence is and respect this fragility in contrast to our obsessive pursuit of destruction, of the environment and each other
A couple of miles down the road between Arncott and Ambrosden I was working on the M40 in 1990, we pulled out a load of ammonites as big as a 4x4 tyres, biggest regret is that I never thought to bring some home with me.
Would be awesome to see properly if they hadnt slapped that banner on the video. But then it is the BBC i suppose. And i wonder if he managed to get Oasis tickets
When i was a kid i would spend time at the beach looking for dinosaur bones. Kinda silly. But this man really found it! He said he felt tingly!!! Good job sir!
I hope they leave the trackway preserved as it is!!! I know it’s in an active quarry that needs to make money and is loosing it as paleontologists do their work, but if this is one of the largest in the world then it should be preserved as is, and the quarry made around it or go somewhere else.

Absolutely appalled with the editing of this footage. A piddly little red banner that covers 1/3 of the screen. I could actually somewhat see parts of what the report was about. Next time make the whole screen red please.
I misread that at first as saying that the footprints were older to those dinosaurs than the footprints are to us - I just couldn't fathom how the fuck that worked. 😂
Quarry management must surely understand that the significance of the site is vastly more important than the other resources within. Name the site after the business if need be, but preserve it for future generations. That's PR money can't buy.
@userxyz64 the government could enact a preservation order to halt all further mining and rescind their mining permit. Best to work with the mining company to get them on board but ultimately the government should play hardball to secure the site.
@@beatricet5682 not sure that keeping the pavement in situ would be of any significant value. It might prevent further search for other fossils and geological information on the site.
@@AJ-xv7oh there's plenty of earth to be explored. Mining companies don't own the land they mine. They can dig at another site and take their workers with them.

Dinosaur's footprints and remember the Mars footprints ? ua-cam.com/video/o2o6e_-s5P4/v-deo.html
What did the banner say? I couldn’t read it, can you make it bigger. What’s this video about again..
Absolutely appalled with the editing of this footage. A piddly little red banner that covers 1/3 of the screen. I could actually somewhat see parts of what the report was about. Next time make the whole screen red please.
Yes it is amazing that these tracks have been there for 120 million years. It is also amazing that they can find them!

Great work with that banner covering all of the camera work.. nice 1
The Oxford museum is the only place with the heads of the dinosaurs from episode 3 and 4 of walking with dinosaurs
what footprint are you talkin about ? I saw a banner-print
That's so cool! I hope they're preserved. 🦖🦕
Great discovery there is so much remarkable history in the U.K. and yes for us dinosaur enthusiasts the banner size and placement wasn’t ideal 😂
Side note: he also received a bowl of soup with the haircut.
His mum does his hair, he still lives at home 😂
BBC found the best place to put their banner and block what the bloke is explaining!
its crazy to think that this footprint was more ancient to the dinosaurs impacted by the asteroid than they are to us...
I misread that at first as saying that the footprints were older to those dinosaurs than the footprints are to us - I just couldn't fathom how the fuck that worked. 😂
Absolutely breathtaking! Wonderful job on that beautiful banner! I hope you get a raise.
Quarry management must surely understand that the significance of the site is vastly more important than the other resources within. Name the site after the business if need be, but preserve it for future generations. That's PR money can't buy.
If the state does not buy the quarry, the trail will probably be dismantled and set up elsewhere.
@userxyz64 the government could enact a preservation order to halt all further mining and rescind their mining permit. Best to work with the mining company to get them on board but ultimately the government should play hardball to secure the site.
Yep. Why don't they put themselves and their employees out of work.
@@beatricet5682 not sure that keeping the pavement in situ would be of any significant value. It might prevent further search for other fossils and geological information on the site.
@@AJ-xv7oh there's plenty of earth to be explored. Mining companies don't own the land they mine. They can dig at another site and take their workers with them.
You got some fossil footprints in your banner BBC..
This is brilliant looking back 166 million years at a snap shot of these fantastic creatures movements if you have imagination this will fire it up to no end. Happy New year to all dinosaur enthusiasts 🖖
Yeh right 😅😂😅
99% banner comments 1% about dinosaurs 😅
Rather silly placement of the red bar?
