PhD students from the Geology Department at the University of Tripoli have documented and published field photographs of three-toed (tridactyl) dinosaur footprints. These tracks are preserved within the Messak Sandstone, one of the most significant sedimentary formations in southwestern Libya. The discovery was made during a scientific field study in the Jabal al-Hasawna region of Wadi al-Shatti. The expedition is part of a specialized training program focused on analyzing ancient depositional environments and linking them to the region’s natural geological history.
