New sinusoidal and complex trackways of Boutakioutichnium atlasicus from the Upper Jurassic of Iouaridène (Morocco)

In the syncline of Iouaridène there are extensive dinosaur tracksites containing long trackways. These trackways show the variability of the sequences of footprints and their inferences regarding the identification of trackmakers, the variability of ichnites printed by the same trackmaker and the se...

Description
Summary:In the syncline of Iouaridène there are extensive dinosaur tracksites containing long trackways. These trackways show the variability of the sequences of footprints and their inferences regarding the identification of trackmakers, the variability of ichnites printed by the same trackmaker and the sequences of long-short paces in relation to the possible lameness, laterality or the sinuosity of the direction along the path. This paper confirms the enorrmous variability of forms and the possibility that there are also other causes that determine the sequences of longshort steps within the same trackway
