Ancient dinosaur footprints stumbled upon by coal miners in Queensland prove that a huge dinosaur larger than the average Tyrannosaurus Rex once roamed through the region's swampland, a local palaentologist says. The footprints, that measure up to 80cm in length, were discovered by miners in the 1950s and 1960s but were only recently studied by scientists at the University of Queensland. Footprints of a meat-eating dinosaur measuring up to 10 metres in length has been discovered in Queensland after the fossils were originally dug up by miners in the 1950s and 1960s.

While the dinosaur described as 'badass' by Dr Romilio does not officially have a name, the fossilised footprints are known as kayentapus.
