Scientists confirmed six fossilized footprints in Udon Thani, Thailand, belong to a carnivorous theropod dinosaur from approximately 120 million years ago.
The footprints, measuring 29x26 cm, indicate a theropod estimated at 1.42 meters tall at the hip and 6.3 meters long, comparable to Siamotyrannus isanensis.
This discovery marks the first confirmed find of fossilized footprints from a meat-eating theropod dinosaur in Thailand, highlighting its unique paleontological significance.
The site will be protected under the Fossil Protection Act, with plans to develop it into a research center and a geological tourism destination.
