Hi everyone,Â
I have studied for a long time some beautiful dinosaur trackways from the Cretaceous Rio do Peixe Basin of Brazil. Most of the preserved prints known are referred to theropod dinosaurs, but some case also occur associated ornithopod tracks.Â
So, I have a question to professional paleoichnologists - with good experience in the field work - concerning the best ways and methods of extraction (collect) of isolated tracks or trackways preserved "in situ", with remarkable state of vulnerability caused by multiple factors: Like natural erosion, non-favorable structure of the sediments or human destruction, for example.Â
Some observed dinosaur tracks are surrounded by another type of uncompacted sediments and, consequently, suffer with some level of risk of permanent destruction.
Please, let me know the tools or material (glue, for example), that are currently used in this very specific type of activity of collect for posterior deposition of dinosaur ichnofossils in a scientific collection.Â
Have a good week!
Best regards,
BrunoÂ
