The prints belonged to two distinct species of dinosaur and are roughly 170 million years old. Researchers say it's impossible to tell exactly which species these were. We know they were sauropods (a family long-necked herbivores, including the likes of Brontosaurus) and theropods (carnivores and older cousins of Tyrannosaurus Rex).
The footprints were first discovered by a student two years ago in 2016, and since then the field work has included the use of drones to map the site. It was particularly tricky to map, as the tracks were found on a tidal platform at Brothers' Point.
"Tracks themselves are always interesting because they record moments in time when real animals were interacting with their environment," Dr Steve Brusatte who led the field work told Mashable. He also said that the rock where the prints were found was formed in an "ancient lagoon", meaning these dinosaurs were "wading in shallow water" when they made them.
"What we don't see is really any sign that these dinosaurs were doing anything that interesting," Brusatte said. "They were just kind of loitering in this lagoon."
"They weren't chasing each other, they weren't hunting each other," said Brusatte. "This is just a snapshot of what looks to be a day in the life of some 170 million year old dinosaurs."
The prints are of particular significance because they are "rare evidence of the Middle Jurassic period, from which few fossil sites have been found around the world," according to Edinburgh University's press release.
The study of the footprints was released in the Scottish Journal of Geology.
