Scientist are using computers with 3-D modeling to understand dinosaur footprints. They have discovered that the for a animal to leave a everlasting footprint it depends on how much the animal weighs and some part has to do with the conditions of the soil. Scientist have found that since weight is a huge factor to leave footprints, that their could be so many more different types of dinosaurs that are unknown. So using this technology they can study land and it gives palaeontologists the chance to re evaulate over 100 million years of history. To see the full article, click here.
At first when I read this article I found it interesting that our technology now can figure out what happened over 100 million years ago. I will always think that what an accomplishment our society has achieved. Also I feel like what else is left out there in the world that is undiscovered and if it will be discovered. Or will we have developed the technology to be capable of uncovering the hidden secrets of this planet that we live on. I have also had an interest in history and this article justs sparks it even more. There are still so many questions to be asked and hopefully our society has the people to answer them.
