Filled mammal tunnels (krotovinas) are the most common traces in modern grassland soils and trace fossils in loess paleosols. Krotovinas are still insufficiently used in paleogeographic reconstructions owing to the absence of a procedure... more

For more than 70 years unusual sauropod trackways have played a pivotal role in debates about the swimming ability of sauropods. Most claims that sauropods could swim have been based on manus-only or manus-dominated trackways. However... more
