Diagram showing how dinosaur footprints are preserved in different deposits. Most trace fossils are known from marine deposits. [16] Essentially, there are two types of traces, either exogenic ones, which are made on the surface of the sediment (such as tracks) or endogenic ones, which are made within the layers of sediment (such as burrows).

The discovery, made public Wednesday, includes well-preserved footprints of reptiles and amphibians that scientists say date back 280 million years to a geologic period known as the Permian period.
The Laetoli trackway is famous for the hominin footprints preserved in volcanic ash. After the footprints were made in powdery ash, soft rain cemented the ash layer into tuff, preserving the prints. [6] The hominid prints were produced by three individuals, one walking in the footprints of the other, making the original tracks difficult to ...
Dinosaur Plateau, also known as the Khodzapil-Ata Tracksite, (Turkmen: Dinozawrlar platosy) is a large limestone slab from the Kugitang Svita that is located on the slope of the Köýtendag mountains in the Lebap Region of Turkmenistan. The area is notable for preserving the largest concentration of dinosaur footprints in a single area. [1]
As Texas baked in record-breaking heat this summer and a growing drought pushed water levels down, a group of volunteers uncovered something sort of magnificent: new giant dinosaur tracks that are ...
There are outcrops of Broome Sandstone, deposited in shallow water in this area in the Early Cretaceous period, about 130 million years ago. Footprints from dinosaurs of that time, and plant fossils, are preserved in the sandstone. At very low tide, dinosaur footprints can be seen about 30 metres (98 ft) out to sea. [2] [3] [4]
Some of the tracks were left by theropods, a group of dinosaur that includes Tyrannosaurus Rex, experts say. Huge dinosaur tracks uncovered as river dries in drought-stricken Texas, video shows ...
