I saw this article earlier today. If someone has already posted it I give my apologies for reposting it, but I think it is an interesting article on:

“A diverse mammal-dominated, footprint assemblage from wetland deposits in the Lower Cretaceous of Maryland”

It is published in Nature.

Thanks. I don’t post news type items so I forgot there was even a catagory for it. 

I wish I had time to sit and peruse all areas of TFF, but sad to say I don’t even have time to stay current and read everything in the General Discussion or Fossil ID and so many other areas.

Well I’ll be, never heard of mammal tracks there. I had the opportunity to see a nodosaur print while being excavated (or rather the sandbags on top of it) back when Ray Stanford found it. Seems they finally prowled the area for more. Dinosaur park is roughly contemporaneous and preserved one mammal jaw thus far, called arundelconodon. So I guess the mammals are to be expected. Thanks for posting!

That is absolutely amazing IMHO. Such track way diversity!

No worries, Kim. ;) 

We can handle moving some things from time to time. :)

Congrats to Dr. Godfrey at the Calvert Marine Museum for overseeing and directing the excavation and making the amazing copy for the Goddard Space Flight Center!
