Scientists launched DinoTracker, an AI app that identifies dinosaurs from fossil footprints with about 90% expert-level accuracy.
Researchers from the University of Edinburgh and Helmholtz-Zentrum trained the system using 2,000 unlabelled footprint silhouettes.
The AI groups prints by shape features like toe spread, heel position, and ground contact.
Users can upload footprints and compare them with similar examples through the free app.
The system supports theories linking some ancient tracks to birdlike dinosaurs, though scientists urge caution.
