Scientists have published details of the world's biggest dinosaur footprints found in what has been dubbed "Australia’s Jurassic Park".

A team of palaeontologists identified an unprecedented 21 different types of dinosaur tracks, including the only confirmed evidence for stegosaurs in Australia, on a 25-kilometre stretch of a remote coastline north of Broome.

"Nowhere else has as many different types of dinosaurs represented by tracks than Walmadany [James Price Point] has," said Dr Steve Salisbury, the lead author of the study, using the name given to the area by its traditional owners.
