A girl named Bindi Lee Porth was collecting seashells on Cable Beach near Broome, Western Australia when she felt an indentation in the sand. When she cleared the sand away she saw what seemed to be preserved footprints. University of Queensland paleontologist Steve Salisbury said they have probably been covered by sand or water for decades. He determined that it was a Megalosaurus Broomensis from 130 million years ago!
