Extinctions and trace fossils
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Mid America Paleontology Society is having their annual Expo in
April (which I normally attend), and the theme this year is
Extinctions. The organizers know I've worked on dinosaur tracks, and
asked me about the relevance of tracks and other trace fossils to
questions about extinctions (timing, groups affected, etc), and whether
I could say or write a few words about that. Unfortunately, I've not
worked on any dino tracksites close to the KT boundary or other
extinction horizons, and am wondering if anyone can suggest any sources
addressing the issue of trace fossils (vertebrate or invertebrate) and
extinctions. I know its a broad question, but any references to
specific work or workers on the topic would be appreciated.
Thanks!
