  3. Notable discovery: Dinosaur footprints at NASA Goddard

    <b>Description:</b> Two 110-million-year-old footprints that a massive plant-eating dinosaur and, perhaps, its offspring left behind has been uncovered on the campus of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt. That age dates it to the Cretaceous Period, the last of the Mesozoic Era. NASA Goddard facilities officials are not revealing the exact location of the footprint but said it isn't going anywhere &#8212; moving it would violate laws protecting archaeological and paleontological artifacts found on federal lands.
