Fossils

Fossilised footprints discovered in New Mexico indicate that early humans were walking across North America around 23,000 years ago, researchers have said.

The samples are estimated to be 164-174 million years old. The pair found the site in Wiltshire during the second lockdown, while researching online.

The shoulder bone of the 'Palaeoloxodon antiquus' was found protruding from the sand by a local resident.
