 Description:
Since tracks attributed to Rhynchosauroides have been found in many
locations, its maker must have been a relatively common quadruped
during the Triassic. Tracks are preserved as positive relief casts
filling impressions of the underlying mudstone or as negative relief
impressions. Typically those of Rhynchosauroides have a deeply impressed
manus (forefoot) and faintly impressed pes (hind foot) with often
only 3 of the 5 digits preserved, along with occasional tail drag
marks. Here is an opportunity to obtain a large example of a moment
frozen in time for nearly a quarter billion years. |
