Saurier Footprints From The Netherlands

Hi,

Yesterday I went with my little boy to "Winterswijk", the location of a stonequarry with Lower-Muschelkalk.

Winterswijk has yielded numerous reptilebones and footprints (Sauropterygia, Prolacertiformes and Amphibians)

Altough footprint are not rare from this location, I still like to share two finds with you.

The first picture is from Rhynchosauroides peabodyi (Faber 1958) the second one I am not sure about.

I hope you like them.

Peter

Thank you, Peter! I really love ichnofossils, and quadruped tracks are at the top of the list. :wub:

My pulse went up when you said they weren't rare at that location, and I envy that you have such a place to collect such beautiful examples.
