It tops a record 1.15 meter-long (nearly 3 feet 9 inches) footprint found last July . That footprint, found in Bolivia, was the biggest ever from a carnivorous dinosaur. Richard Hunter lies alongside a 1.75 meter (5 foot 9 inch) sauropod track in the Lower Cretaceous Broome Sandstone, Walmadany area, Dampier Peninsula, Western Australia.
