雙語新聞：福建中外科學家發(fā)現大型恐龍足跡

Chinese and foreign scientists in Fujian province have discovered large dinosaur tracks, which they said are the largest known Deinonychosaur tracks ever found and have led to the establishment of a new footprint genus species.
福建省的中外科學家發(fā)現了大型恐龍足跡，他們稱這是迄今為止發(fā)現的最大的恐爪龍足跡，并導致了新足跡屬物種的建立。

A paper on the discovery was published in the academic journal iScience last month.
關于這一發(fā)現的論文上個月發(fā)表在學術期刊《iScience》上。

The research team found that at the large Late Cretaceous (110.5-66 million years ago) dinosaur track site discovered in Shanghang county, Longyan, there are some large Deinonychosaur tracks, with the extinct species estimated to be at least 5 meters in body length and nearly 2 meters in hip height, comparable in size to the South China Tyrannosaur and the Utahraptor, two fearsome dinosaur species previously discovered.
研究小組發(fā)現，在龍巖上杭縣發(fā)現的晚白堊世（距今110.5-6600萬年前）大型恐龍足跡遺址中，存在一些大型恐爪龍足跡，滅絕物種估計體長至少5米， 臀高近2米，體型與先前發(fā)現的兩種可怕的恐龍物種華南暴龍和猶他盜龍相當。

A team of Chinese and foreign scientists led by the China University of Geosciences (Beijing) and the Fujian Yingliang Stone Natural History Museum announced the discovery on Monday.
由中國地質大學（北京）和福建英良石自然博物館領導的中外科學家團隊周一宣布了這一發(fā)現。

Niu Kecheng, director of the Fujian Yingliang Stone Natural History Museum, believes that the discovery of Fujianipus yingliangi greatly expands the size range of Deinonychosaur footprints, demonstrating the research potential of the Fujian Longxiang Dinosaur Track Site and its significant importance for the study of Late Cretaceous dinosaur fauna in China.
