Researchers have digitally reconstructed a scene from a dinosaur chase previously found preserved in the mud of an old river bed in Texas, according to BBC News.
Research was headed by Peter Falkingham, from the Royal Veterinary College in London.
"It's great to get so many stride lengths, so many depths and impressions," said Falkingham, according to LiveScience.com. "There's all this data you can get from an animal moving over quite a long distance."
Paleontologists first discovered the tracks back in 1917, but an excavation in 1940 led to a third of the trackway "vanishing" according to LiveScience.com.
The whole trackaway was removed from the river bed and divided into blocks, which were then moved to different locations for "study" according to BBC News.
Some of the blocks got lost, but researchers were able to use old photos to reconstruct the entire 148-foot long track.
Thanks to just 17 photos, the researchers discovered that millions of years ago the long-necked Sauropod traveled near what is now known as Glen Rose, Texas.
They weren't alone however, as researchers proved they were chased down by meat-eating Theropods, according to LiveScience.com.
Researchers used a scanning technique called photogrammetry to recreate the chase. The process involves using scans and photographs to create a digital model, according to News24.com.
Theoretically, people can use this method to reconstruct damaged sites and objects, if photographs are available.
Photos used for the recreation were taken by a U.S. paleontologist in Roland Bird.
Findings were published in the journal PLOS One on April 2.
