As I remember the trackways, the manus prints seemed to "pace"
the pes prints. That is the two sets maintained a specific relative
position. [Note, the manus prints were *slightly* further out than
the pes prints - just not to the degree required by a sprawling
stance]. Overall, the ceratopsian trackways show many of the same
basic relationships as seen in sauropod trackways.
