Archaeologists this week uncovered what may be the oldest example of a traffic jam, with a staggering revelation: tracks from 76 million years ago suggest dinosaurs weren’t just lumbering solo—they commuted together in multi-species herds. That’s right—herbivores, carnivores, and possibly that one lost pterosaur joined in what scientists are calling the “Prehistoric Friendship Parade.”
Lead paleontologist Dr. Linda Fossili noted, “We’ve found intertwined footprints of duck-billed hadrosaurs, armor-plated ankylosaurs, and even some skeptical-looking raptor prints in what’s basically the Mesozoic equivalent of a group chat on foot.” Experts theorize this is the ancient origin of the phrase ‘the more the merrier’—even if some participants were calculating the likelihood of eating their neighbors.
For dinosaurs, this revolutionary cross-species mingling provided several benefits: improved protection from predators, networking opportunities for future fossilization, and, according to the sediment layers, a robust exchange of fashion tips about frill accessories and tail spikes.
One paleobiologist speculated the massive trackway was left during a prehistoric escape from an all-you-can-eat plant buffet, or perhaps in search of better WiFi. “There are heel drags that suggest at least one teenagerosaurus was pouting the entire way,” she explained.
Skeptics, however, warn against reading too much into the evidence, suggesting the tracks could also be the result of dinosaur book club meetings or a failed attempt at a synchronized swimming routine—minus the water.
In any case, these fossilized footpaths confirm what we’ve always suspected: dinosaurs just wanted to hang out and avoid awkward Cretaceous small talk. Next up for researchers: looking for fossilized evidence of dino group selfies.
