Footprints
Please forgive my ignorance, but how certain are the attributions of
dinosaur trackways to this or that type of dinosaur? Like the
tyrannosaur track from New Mexico (or was it Arizona--I can't
remember!) and the stegosaur tracks from Australia (those being the
only examples I could remember that I couldn't figure out). Sauropod
tracks I can understand. I assume that the NM track is labeled
tyrannosaur because tyrannos are the only known dinosaurs from that
time and place that could have left the tracks. Am I wrong? What
about the stego tracks? That would seem to be an iffy-er ID to me,
but then I haven't read the literature on these either (yes, I wallow
in shame).
Crawling pitifully to safety,
