A family was strolling along an eroded beach at sunset when they discovered a trove of eight huge dinosaur footprints.
Vicky Ballinger and her two kids were stunned by the sight in East Sussex, England, after high tides and heavy rains had worn away the sand, exposing the rock underneath.
The area from Bexhill-on-Sea to Fairlight has become known for its track casts and prints of dinosaurs.
“I grew up in Bexhill and I’ve never seen these ones before,” says Vicky.
“I believe they are iguanodon footprints. They’re not T-rex tracks (because) they weren’t in England.”
Vicky went to the local Bexhill Museum with her discovery, and they’re investigating further this week. She also uploaded her video to YouTube (see below).
“The kids loved that they could see the track of a dinosaur and walk where it walked. It was very exciting.”

In 2018, more than 85 footprints from the Cretaceous period made up of at least seven different species were uncovered by the cliffs between Hastings and Fairlight—including the fine detail of skin and scales.
Another fossil discovered on Bexhill beach was confirmed as a ‘pickled’ dinosaur brain.
The Bexhill site dates back to around 140 million years ago and contains the remains of dinosaurs that used to roam in the freshwater surroundings of the period.
“It’s quite beautiful to find these amazing dinosaur footprints when we came on a walk.”

Over the years, the fossils of several dinosaur species have been found including Iguanodon, Megalosaurus, Baryonyx, Polacanthus, and the tooth of a Velociraptor-type animal, many of which are on display at the Bexhill Museum.
