First Adult T. Rex Trackway Discovered in N.D.
Scientists documented the first adult Tyrannosaurus rex trackway in the Hell Creek Formation of North Dakota, a 23-foot sequence of four tridactyl footprints dating to about 66.5 million years ago, analyzed with 3D scans to reveal gait and behavior. Found in 2025 on federal land near Marmarth, the tracks suggest a leisurely pace of roughly 3.5 to 4.5 mph as researchers plan further excavations and 3D reproductions.

About Liverpool John Moores University
Liverpool John Moores University is a public research university in the city of Liverpool, United Kingdom. The university can trace its origins to the Liverpool Mechanics' School of Arts, established in 1823. This later merged to become Liverpool Polytechnic. In 1992, following an Act of Parliament, the Liverpool Polytechnic became what is now Liverpool John Moores University. It is named after Sir John Moores, a local businessman and philanthropist, who donated to the university's precursor institutions.
