Dinosaurs have big footprints! We see these footprints in natural history museums. But have you seen one on a beach?
恐龍的腳印很大，我們可以在自然歷史博物館看到，但你有在海灘上看過嗎?
A family was walking on a beach in England. The mother and her two kids were having fun. Then they saw eight big dinosaur footprints!
有個家庭在英國的海灘散步，玩得正開心的時候，看到八個恐龍的大腳印。
They were very excited. They were walking where dinosaurs walked!

If we walk on a beach today, our footprints are very soft. These footprints are not soft. Dinosaurs made these footprints millions of years ago. The footprints became very hard. Now they're as hard as rocks.
我們在海灘上留下的腳印是軟的，但這些幾千萬年前的腳印，現在硬的跟石頭一樣。
These hard footprints were under the sand. But heavy rain and waves took the sand away. That's why the family found them.
原本這些腳印被埋在沙子底下，但是海浪跟大雨把砂礫沖走了，才會被發現。
The rocks under the beach are 140 million years old. Lots of dinosaurs used to walk there. In 2018, people found about 85 dinosaur footprints near that beach. They were from seven kinds of dinosaurs!
這些化石有1400萬年的歷史。很多恐龍曾經走過當地。2018年民眾發現的腳印就有85個，來自7種不同的恐龍。
