  "account": "A team of researchers has discovered four consecutive footprints of a Tyrannosaurus rex in the Hell Creek Formation near Marmarth, North America. The footprints, which are around 1 meter long and 60-80 cm wide, are believed to have been made by an adult T. rex around 66.5 million years ago. Analysis of the footprints suggests that the T. rex was approximately 4 meters tall at the hip and was moving at a speed of 5-7 kilometers per hour. The footprints were preserved due to a unique process involving sand, calciferous groundwater, and erosion.",
