Intra-trackway morphological variations due to substrate consistency: the el frontal dinosaur tracksite (lower Cretaceous, Spain)

An ichnological and sedimentological study of the El Frontal dinosaur tracksite (Early Cretaceous, Cameros basin, Soria, Spain) highlights the pronounced intra-trackway variation found in track morphologies of four theropod trackways. Photogrammetric 3D digital models revealed various and distinct i...
