Re: Dromaeosaur tracks found in Bolivia (news story in Spanish)

[<dragonsclaw@gmx.net>]

Looking at the single photo of a track that is available on the website I'd 
say those are likely not dromaeosaurid (or troodontid) tracks at all. The 
morphology visible in the photo doesnt fit with that of published 
dromaeosaurid tracks, and also not with the morphology of the pedal skeleton 
of the Dromaeosauridae. The clue is in the digit II impression.

Greets!

I do not have access to the paper but the news story says the big claw is
in the third??? toe and it is up.
Cheers.
