KimTexan Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 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. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-18619-w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Miocene_Mason Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 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.

Shamalama Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 That is absolutely amazing IMHO. Such track way diversity! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, Kim. We can handle moving some things from time to time.
