Scientists have launched DinoTracker, an AI-powered app that identifies dinosaurs from fossilised footprints.
The system analyses footprint shapes and matches expert classifications about 90% of the time.
Researchers trained the AI using 2,000 unlabelled footprint silhouettes to avoid human bias.
The study appeared in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The project involved scientists from University of Edinburgh and Helmholtz-Zentrum.
Users can upload footprints, compare similar tracks, and test how shape changes affect results.
The AI supports earlier findings that some ancient tracks look strikingly birdlike.
Researchers say the tool strengthens analysis but does not replace expert judgment.
