From Scientific American:

Dinosaur tracks recently discovered on the Arabian Peninsula are not only the first of their kind in the region, but they also reveal more about the herding behavior of the prehistoric beasts.The footprints, left by a group of 11 plant-eaters that walked on all fours, along with a lone dino that stood on its hind legs, were found on a coastal mudflat in Yemen.

That article reminds me of the saying: "Footprints in the sands of Time".

For them to have survived that estimated/quoted 150 million years seems odd, however.

Especially as in various places of the world, dinosaurs and man were existing together, as has been shown by dinosaur footprints with man footprints in the same mud which since hardened into stone.

There are interesting sets of evidence, refer: http://www.bible.ca/tracks/tracks.htm

Kind Regards....
