Re: Dromaeosaurus Tracks?

[Andrew Milner <amilner@sgcity.org>]

George,

All I can say is that dromaeosaur tracks have recently been described and a 
paper is being reviewed. Martin Lockley is working on them and that's about 
all I can say. You'll have to wait for the paper to come out possibly later 
this year or early next year it looks like.

Regards,
Andrew
