Footprints of a 100-foot dinosaur have been discovered on the ceiling of a cave in S France.

Though thousands of people have been through this cave, Jean-David Moreau was the first to notice the footprints on the ceiling and identify them as coming from a sauropod = dino in the Brontosaurus family. 

Apparently it's not the first time footprints have been found on a ceiling. Here are 3-toed dinosaur prints from a cave in Australia.
