To my knowledge living lungfish do not actually crawl about on land,
and therefore leave no tracks.  I have no idea what their
predecessors might have done...


Yes - it's more of a squirm than a walk, which wouldn't leave any nice neat
tracks (since the undulating body would obliterate what little impressions
the fins made).


Well, that's still a track of sorts, yes? And indicative of a lungfish?
