Scientists have launched an AI-powered app that identifies dinosaurs from fossil footprints with about 90% accuracy.
The system, developed by researchers from University of Edinburgh and Helmholtz-Zentrum, analyzes footprint shapes without relying on human labels.
Led by Steve Brusatte and Gregor Hartmann, the AI groups prints using eight key shape features.
The free app, DinoTracker, lets users compare footprints and test how shape changes affect matches.
Researchers say the tool confirms expert classifications and including birdlike dinosaur tracks, but debate over their true origin continues.
