The ancient footprint was discovered in Burniston Bay and captures the moment the dinosaur stopped to rest at the beach, according to new findings published on Thursday.
"I couldn't believe what I was looking at, I had to do a double take. I have seen a few smaller prints when out with friends, but nothing like this."
Business Insider reports that the footprint was likely left by a therapod, a class of two-legged dinosaurs with three toes that includes the Tyrannosaurus rex. Moreover, the size of the footprint suggests the dinosaur was probably a Megalosaurus between 2.4 and 2.7m high at the hip.

One can't help but imagine what behaviour this dino may have been exhibiting.
Scientists have an answer for us, they think that the animal was squatting before standing up when it left the imprint.
"It's fun to think this dinosaur might well have been strolling along a muddy coastal plain one lazy Sunday afternoon in the Jurassic," said Dean Lomax, a paleontologist at the University of Manchester and an author of the study, in a press release.
