In their constant bid to break new ground, it's rare for NASA's news to include any mention of dinosaurs.<\/p>\n
But thats exactly what happened this week after a massive footprint of a lumbering, armoured dinosaur called a nodosaur was discovered at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.<\/p>\n
More than a hundred million years before scientists at NASA's Maryland-based centre were working on exploring the universe, it appears that the site was home to herbivore dinosaurs. <\/p>\n
Incredible: A 12-inch-wide dinosaur footprint belonging to an armored, tank-like plant-eater called a nodosaur was discovered at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center this summer; NASA confirmed the discovery this week <\/p>\n
Discovery: A model of a nodosaur sits in the giant footprint, which was found by amateur dino-hunter Ray Stanford <\/p>\n
The incredible discovery was made all the more exciting after a second track - overlapping with the first - was unearthed suggesting that the tank-link nodosaur had a baby in tow. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The first giant footprint, which measures 12 inches wide and shows the imprint of four toes, was discovered earlier this summer by amateur dinosaur tracker Ray Stanford.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
