Dinosaur Footprints Discovered in Sardinia Rewrite Prehistoric History

In Baunei, Ogliastra, Sardinia, fossilized dinosaur footprints were discovered during the filming of a documentary. This exceptional discovery rewrites the prehistoric history of Sardinia.

The discovery occurred accidentally while a film crew was shooting a documentary about the natural beauty of the Baunei area. Walking along a rock face, some team members noticed unusual marks imprinted in the rock. Geologists and paleontologists confirmed that these were fossilized dinosaur footprints, dating back millions of years.

The identified footprints may belong to large herbivorous dinosaurs. This confirms that during the age of dinosaurs, Sardinia was not as isolated as it is today, but connected to larger landmasses. Local institutions are evaluating how to enhance the site, with plans for guided tours, information panels, and educational workshops.
