Australia's Massive & Diverse Dinosaur Trackway

[Troodon]

I was looking at the latest news and this popped up which I thought was very cool that something like this exists 

 

"A group of paleontologists from the University of Queensland and James Cook University has documented the most diverse assemblage of dinosaur tracks in the world on the north-western coast of Western Australia."

The paper is part of SVP memoir series #16.  Not sure if one can purchase this journal, it's pretty nice and if this interest you a hard bound copy is the way to go.

Here are a few highlights 

 

Of the tracks examined, 150 could be identied and are assignable to a least eleven and possibly as many as 21 different track types: ve different types of theropod tracks, at least six types of sauropod tracks, four types of ornithopod tracks, and six types of thyreophoran tracks. Eleven of these track types can formally be assigned or compared to existing or new ichnotaxa, whereas the remaining ten represent morphotypes that, although distinct, are currently too poorly represented to confidently  assign to existing or new ichnotaxa.

 

 

Unfortunately the trackways are in a tidal area and will eventually disappear 

 

 

Here are some of the tracks found with descriptions
