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 ornithopods, identified as Gissarosaurus, travelled along the remaining five known trackways; [5] less is known about the ornithopod footprints than the theropod footprints at Dinosaur Plateau. Besides this, the plateau has footprints of a humanlike creature that is equal to 10.5 shoe size and the poorly-preserved impressions of bivalve ...

The footprints were first discovered in the 1960s by station manager, Glen Seymour, in the nearby Seymour Quarry. Palaeontologists from the Queensland Museum, including Mary Wade and Tony Thulborn and the University of Queensland excavated Lark Quarry during 1976–77 (the quarry was named after Malcolm Lark, a volunteer who removed a lot of the overlying rock.)
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 ...
Tyrannosauripus is an ichnogenus of dinosaur footprint. It was discovered by geologist Charles "Chuck" Pillmore in 1983 and formally described by Martin Lockley and Adrian Hunt in 1994. [ 1 ] This fossil footprint from northern New Mexico is 96 cm long and given its Late Cretaceous age (about 66 million years old), it very likely belonged to ...
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 oldest beds of this formation belong to the Dinosaur Canyon Member, a reddish, slope-forming rock layer with thin beds of siltstone that are interbedded with mudstone and fine sandstone. [3] The Dinosaur Canyon, with a local thickness of 140 to 375 feet (43 to 114 m), was probably laid down in slow-moving streams, ponds and large lakes. [ 4 ]
