The concept goes all the way back to the 1858 ichnological research of the Reverend Edward Hitchcock performed on the Newark Basin dinosaur tracks. Because underprints are produced indirectly they can only preserve the basic anatomy of the trackmaker's foot, whereas true tracks can preserve fine details skin impressions in favorable circumstances.

The more than 260 footprints researchers studied were found impressed into mud and silt along ancient rivers and lakes, with more than 3,700 miles separating the ones in South America and Africa ...
The Connecticut River Valley trackways are the fossilised footprints of a number of Early Jurassic dinosaurs or other archosauromorphs from the sandstone beds of Massachusetts and Connecticut. The finding has the distinction of being among the first known discoveries of dinosaur remains in North America.
Researchers found that the dinosaur footprints were discovered over 3,700 miles away from each other – and that the footprints were made 120 million years ago on a "supercontinent known as ...
The tracks were originally created about 621 miles apart over a thin sandstone layer of silt and mud on the former supercontinent Gondwanan, which later separated and formed the south Atlantic Ocean.
Wakinyantanka (from Lakota Wakíŋyaŋ Tȟáŋka, "great thunderbird") is an ichnogenus of footprint produced by a large theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation of South Dakota. Wakinyantanka tracks are large with three long, slender toes with occasional impressions of a short hallux and narrow metatarsals.
Imprints of dinosaurs were made in carbonate mud, after they were infilled with marl. Dinosaur tracks have been assigned to sauropods, theropods and ornithopods. [3] An indeterminate titanosauriform sauropod humerus (MDS-VPCR, 214) has been found in the formation. [4] The municipality of Mambrillas de Lara has created a dinosaur park.
