Martin -

        The _par excellance_ dinosaur footprint book, IMHO, is:

Thulborn, Tony (1990) _Dinosaur Tracks._  New York:  Chapman and Hall, 410 pp.

        It's a fabulous overview of the scientific edge of paleoichnology
(the Lockley book _Tracking Dinosaurs_ does sort of cover the scientific
edge, but is aimed at a "general public" audience).  The big problem with
Thulborn's book is cost:  around $80, last I checked, and no paperback in
sight!  It does, however, contain a wonderful bibliography, which can point
you to papers on most dino footprint subjects.

shrinking lake...these great...behemoths...dying..."
        "Well," she said, "all you tell me may be so...but I still can't
see why such creatures would have wanted to do it in the first place."
        "Do what, ma'am?"
        "Why, crawl away back under all that rock to die."
