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.
Wakinyantanka are large, tridactyl, and bipedal pes prints, with the middle (third) toe being the longest (mesaxonic), typical of theropod footprints. The digits of Wakinyantanka are long and slender, and are widely divaricating so that the prints are roughly as wide as they are long, averaging between 55–60 centimetres (22–24 in) long and 60 centimetres (24 in) wide.
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.
The footprints, dating back to the Early Cretaceous period, were found in Brazil and in Cameroon, researchers wrote in a study published Monday by the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science.
Over time, the tracks were covered with sand that then solidified into rock. All imprints appear to stem from a three-toed and clawed foot, likely from the hind feet of bipedal dinosaurs.There are two crossing tracks, counting more than 30 individual imprints of 12-15 cm in length and 80 cm apart. An additional track consists of several ...
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 ...

[1]In January 1992 Karen and Dr. Mike Duffin discovered dinosaur footprints in Zilker Park in an old limestone quarry which had recently been cleared for the installation of a butterfly garden.
