More than 2,500 well-preserved bird tracks associated with theropod and sauropod are recorded from a dense assemblage in lacustrine deposits of the Early Cretaceous Haman Formation Gajin area, Jinju, Korea. These preserved recently constructed Fossil Heritage Hall at Gyeongsangnamdo Institute Science Education. Bird attributed to Ignotornis gajinensis ichnosp. nov., Koreanaornis hamanensis, Goseongornipes markjonesi, ?Aquatilavipes. Like G. I. is semi-palmate track, similar Hwangsanipes...
Abstract Hominid footprints are particularly appealing and evocative of the living activity our ancestors. The most famous oldest (Late Pliocene, ca. 3.7 Ma) hominid footprints, from Laetoli in East Africa, have been attributed, with some uncertainly, to genus Homo or Australopithecus. African track record also yields Early Pleistocene (∼1.5 tracks attributable erectus. only well-documented Middle (age ∼325,000-385,000 yrs) reported Italy presumably represent a pre-Homo sapiens species. Late...
Relationships between non-avian theropod dinosaurs and extant fossil birds are a major focus of current paleobiological research. Despite extensive phylogenetic morphological support, behavioural evidence is mostly ambiguous does not usually fossilize. Thus, inferences that dinosaurs, especially theropods displayed behaviour analogous to modern intriguing but speculative. Here we present geographically widespread physical substrate scraping behavior by large considered as compelling "display...
Abstract Large well-preserved crocodylomorph tracks from the Lower Cretaceous (? Aptian) Jinju Formation of South Korea, represent well-known ichnogenus Batrachopus . The Korean sample includes multiple, narrow-gauge, pes-only trackways with footprint lengths (FL) 18–24 cm, indicating trackmaker body up to ~3.0 m. Surprisingly, consistent absence manus in trackways, digital pad and skin traces, argues for bipedal trackmakers, here assigned grandis ichnosp. nov. No definitive evidence, either...
Abstract New sauropod tracks are described herein as Brontopodus pentadactylus ichnosp. nov. from the Early Cretaceous Haman Formation of Jinju area, Korea. B. is characterized by a medium gauged trackway with wide pentadactyl manus revealing hitherto unreported morphology. Thus, provides new insight into morphology fleshed-out sauropods showing that, unlike most semi-circular that lack discrete digit traces, some indicate trackmakers clearly differentiated, well-defined, and very digits....
Abstract New didactyl dinosaur tracks from the fine-grained sandstone of Early Cretaceous Jinju Formation, Namhae area, Korea, are herein described as Dromaeosauripus jinjuensis ichnosp. nov. A trackway about 4.3 m long is composed 12 consecutive traces. The average 9.3 cm and 6.8 wide. Pace, stride, pace angulation 40 cm, 80 175°, respectively. D. a small track characterized by slender digit impressions, very narrow divarication angle between digits III IV, slightly longer than sharp claw...
Enigmatic tracks and dinosaur trackways from lacustrine margin sediments of the Lower Cretaceous Haman Formation southern coast Korea represent a new ichnospecies. Trackways with large, pes-only lengths up to 39 cm, characterized by elongate, subtriangular outlines, impressions four digits subangular heel, are attributed plantigrade pterodactyloids assigned Haenamichnus gainensis ichnosp. nov. These comprise one largest longest pterosaur hitherto reported provide intriguing insight into...
Ongoing studies of a multiple track-bearing horizons from massive excavations in the Jinju Formation (Lower Cretaceous) South Korea have yielded remarkable diversity avian, non-avian dinosaur, pterosaur, crocodilian and mammal tracks, many very small well preserved. Here we report diminutive, didactyl tracks (~1.0 cm long) assigned to new dromaeosaurid ichnogenus Dromaeosauriformipes, which resembles larger, but still quite small, Dromaeosauripus, also same formation only 30 km away. These...
Nonmarine strata of the Cretaceous Hasandong and Jinju formations Sindong Group Namhae area, Kyongsangnamdo, southeast Korea, contain relatively diverse abundant ichnofaunas including domichnia, fodinichnia, pascichnia, repichnia. These are systematically described herein three ichnocoenoses, namely Skolithos, Palaeophycus, Chondrites defined based on their paleoenvironmental occurrence. The Skolithos ichnocoenose characterizes tabular laminated sandstone facies deposited fluvial channel...
Abstract Although more than 60 ancient hominid track sites ranging in age from 3.7 million to less 500 B. P. are recorded all continents except Antarctica, no ichnotaxonomic names have ever been formally proposed for tracks. There is prohibition the naming of fossil footprints species that created tracks and trackways similar those living species. On contrary, there precedent ichnotaxa corresponding dominant extant vertebrates classes: mammals = Mammalipedia birds Avipeda. The site sample...
Following the recent rapid increase in reports of tetrapod tracksites Cretaceous, especially from Lower China and other parts East Asia, notably South Korea, a review ichnofaunal database these regions is presented as basis for comparisons with Cretaceous ichnofaunas that are abundant reasonably well documented. These areas include North America, western USA, Europe, including United Kingdom, Northern Germany, Spain, Italy Croatia. The Chinese presently includes about 70 sites, majority...
Abstract Cretaceous bird tracks assigned to the ichnogenera Aquatilavipes and Koreanaornis are reported for first time from Sado Island in Yeosu archipelago, Korea, an area already known multiple dinosaur track-bearing horizons. The associated with many small Cochlichnus trails attributed nematode worms, on which birds were likely feeding a lake shoreline environment. assemblages occur at different, albeit close, stratigraphic levels. report is Korea.
