A new ornithischian–dominated and theropod footprint assemblage from the Lower Jurassic Lufeng Formation of China

September 30, 2016:

Ornithischian- and theropod-dominated footprint assemblages from the Lower Jurassic Lufeng Formation of Yunnan Province, China, differ significantly from the skeletal record of the same region. Ornithischian tracks assigned to Shenmuichnus wangi are the most common track type (52%), while small Anomoepus-type tracks account for 31%. Large Eubrontes-like theropod tracks make up about 17% of the assemblage. The track record of the Lufeng Basin currently lacks evidence corresponding to basal sauropodomorphs and basal sauropods, even though they are the most abundant skeletal fossils.
