Moyeni dinosaur tracks. Photographs of plaster casts (positives) of Grallator track 6 (A) and Anomoepus track 8 (B) made at the Moyeni tracksite by the authors. Tracks are shown at the same scale (10 cm), and hatching pattern indicates broken surfaces. The Grallator hind foot print was made by pedal digits II–IV; the trackmaker's phalangeal formula was 3–4–5. Digits I and V did not contact the substrate. The rugose texture surrounding the print is the algal mat. The Anomoepus manus–pes couple registers all five manual digits (i–v), four pedal digits (I–IV), the metatarsus (mt), and toe drag marks (dm). Additional structures to the left of the pes are incidental marks made by a different trackmaker. © Jeffrey A. Wilson1*, Claudia A. Marsicano2, Roger M. H. Smith3 · CC BY 2.5 · Wikimedia
