CLASS: Reptilia
ORDER: Dinosauria
DESCRIPTION: Variable digitate tracks (3-5 toes/fingers) of the manus and pes of dinosaurs. Occur as isolated impressions or as trampled grounds with multiple superimposed tracks. Preservation is highly variable.
ETHOLOGY: Repichnia
INTERPRETATION: Locomotion traces. The difference in the preservation of tracks, trackways, and dinoturbation reflects the moisture and consistancy conditions of the substrate.
