Behold now, behemoth,

"Paleontologists have just discovered the largest known dinosaur site in Scotland at a site that was a sandy, saltwater lagoon.
The location at the Duntulm Formation of Cairidh Ghlumaig on the Isle of Skye, includes hundreds of footprints and handprints made

by plant-eating sauropods during the Jurassic period, reports a study published in the new issue of the Scottish Journal of Geology.
Stephen Brusatte of the University of Edinburgh’s School of GeoSciences told Discovery News that the 44,092-pound dinosaurs, which measured over 49 feet long, “left their footprints in an ancient lagoon 170 million years ago.”
“Surprisingly, the new discovery shows that these big dinosaurs spent lots of time in coastal areas and shallow water,” Brusatte said. “We used to think that they were purely land-dwellers.” Discover

Q: Do YOU really think footprints lasted in a watery area 170,000,000 years????? Seriously....
