Footprint about 3.3 feet long

Local archaeologist Mary Woods was collecting conch shells on the beach in April 2021. After stumbling upon a dinosaur footprint, he couldn't believe what he saw. After which a team of fossil collectors rescued this footprint.

According to experts, this is the largest footprint ever found in Yorkshire. This footprint is about 3.3 feet long.
