The morphology of fossil footprints is the basis of vertebrate footprint ichnology. However,
the processes acting during and after trace fossil registration which are responsible for the …

One of the most significant climate changes in the history of Earth happened during the late
Palaeozoic, with the melting of the Gondwanan ice sheets and a progressive warming that …

Nonmarine biostratigraphic/biochronologic schemes have been created for all or parts of the
late Carboniferous–Middle Triassic using palynomorphs, megafossil plants, conchostracans …

A uniform approach to ichnotaxonomy has been for the most part positively received by the
scientific community. We carry it further here, presenting a revised treatment of trace fossil …

The fossil record of mid to late Permian terrestrial vertebrates in the South African Karoo
Basin is regarded as the most abundant and diverse in the world. Despite the extensive …

In recent years photogrammetry has become an essential tool in the study of tetrapod
footprints. Morphological analyses of footprints are interpretative; thus, researchers should …

The origin and preservation of a track are related to many distinct environmental factors,
concerning especially the substrate cohesiveness, plasticity, grain size, texture and water …

Two ichnofacies have been named to encompass inland eolian depositional systems, the
Octopodichnus and the Entradichnus ichnofacies, and are often combined into a single …

Therapsids were a dominant component of middle–late Permian terrestrial ecosystems
worldwide, eventually giving rise to mammals during the early Mesozoic. However, little is …

For more than a century, the Paleozoic units of Grand Canyon National Park (GRCA) and
nearby areas have yielded a remarkable collection of terrestrial vertebrate trace fossils …
