TL;DR

In Brazil, researchers have discovered 9,000-year-old rock art created by hunter-gatherers near fossilized dinosaur footprints dating back to the Cretaceous period. The petroglyphs, found at the Serrote do Letreiro site, are believed to have been intentionally placed next to the dinosaur tracks, with some appearing to illustrate the prints. The art, attributed to small seminomadic groups of hunter-gatherers, consists of geometric carvings made using perforation and scraping techniques. This discovery sheds light on the ancient humans' awareness of and interaction with the dinosaur footprints in the region.
