The Happisburgh footprints were a set of fossilized hominid footprints that date to the end of the Early Pleistocene, around 850–950,000 years ago. They were discovered in May 2013 in a newly uncovered sediment layer of the Cromer Forest Bed on a beach at Happisburgh in Norfolk , England, and carefully photographed in 3D before being ...

The Trachilos footprints are possibly tetrapod footprints which show hominin-like characteristics from the late Miocene on the western Crete, close to the village of Trachilos, west of Kissamos, in the Chania Prefecture. [1] Researchers describe the tracks as representing at least one apparent bipedal [1] hominin or an unknown primate.
Two species of ancient human relatives crossed paths 1.5 million years ago. Fossilized footprints in Kenya captured the moment, according to a new study.
The seven footprints, found amidst a clutter of hundreds of prehistoric animal prints, are estimated to be 115,000 years old. Many fossil and artifact windfalls have come from situations like this ...
Until the discovery of the Happisburgh footprints in England in 2013, they were the oldest known hominid footprints outside Africa. [3] The tracks were originally dated to between 385,000 and 325,000 years ago, [1] but subsequent studies using argon–argon dating placed the date more precisely as around 349–350,000 years ago.
The fossilized footprints were made public in 2021 and date back between 21,000 and 23,000 years, according to new research that builds upon past evidence. - National Park Service
