Re: Longest continuous dinosaur trackways?

["Jerry D. Harris" <jharris@dixie.edu>]

> Hi, does anyone have ref citations for published info on the longest
continuous dinosaur trackways?  I know of sites in Bolivia, Purgatory River,
etc but am not sure of the publications where the lengths of such trackways
are described.

Some Late Jurassic theropod trackways from the Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan 
border region measure between 184 and 311 m in length.  See:


Lockley, M.G., Meyer, C.A., Schultz-Pittman, R., and Forney, G. 1996. Late 
Jurassic dinosaur tracksites from central Asia: a preliminary report on the 
world's longest trackways; pp. 137-140 in Morales, M. (ed.), The Continental 
Jurassic. Museum of Northern Arizona Bulletin 60. Museum of Northern 
Arizona, Flagstaff.

Meyer, C.A., and Lockley, M.G. 1997. Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaur 
tracksites from central Asia (Usbekistan and Turkmenistan); pp. 77-92 in 
Yang, S.-Y., Huh, M., Lee, Y.-N., and Lockley, M.G. (eds.), International 
Dinosaur Symposium for Uhangri Dinosaur Center and Theme Park in Korea. 
Journal of the Paleontological Society of Korea Special Publication 2. 
Paleontological Society of Korea, Chonnam.


The latter reports there was a photo of one of the trackways in a 1996 ish 
of _National Geographic_.  Neither of these reports, however, provide 
detailed measurements, etc., if that's what you're seeking -- that data has 
not yet been published, to my knowledge...
