More fossil footprints from White Sands National Park. The 61 footprints are located at the shore of a dried up ice age era lake, Lake Otero in the Tularosa Basin. [5] The prints were laid on the shores of the now-dry lake at a time when the climate in the region was less arid.
A fossil track or ichnite (Greek "ιχνιον" (ichnion) – a track, trace or footstep) is a fossilized footprint. This is a type of trace fossil. A fossil trackway is a sequence of fossil tracks left by a single organism. Over the years, many ichnites have been found, around the world, giving important clues about the behaviour (and foot ...
Footprints have been preserved as fossils and provide evidence of prehistoric life. Known as " ichnites ", these trace fossils can give clues to the behaviour of specific species of dinosaur . The study of such fossils is known as ichnology and the footprints may be given scientific names ( ichnospecies ).
The fossilized footprints were made public in 2021 and date back between 21,000 and 23,000 years, according to new research that builds upon past evidence. - National Park Service.

Adding to this conundrum are fossilized footprints of bird-like tracks that are 210 million years old—a good 60 million years before the arrival of the genus Archaeopteryx, one of the oldest ...
