Abstract

The Isle of Wight, UK, often called 'Dinosaur Island', preserves one of Europe's most extensive Early Cretaceous dinosaur records. From pioneering 19th century discoveries to modern photogrammetry and 3D modelling, ichnological research has enhanced the understanding, and provided key evidence of the composition and paleoecology of the Wealden Group dinosaur assemblage. The accessibility and year-round visibility of many track sites has promoted geotourism, highlighting their dual scientific and educational significance. This paper provides the first comprehensive review of Isle of Wight dinosaur ichnology, synthesising dispersed literature and providing a foundation for future research.

英国怀特岛下白垩纪威尔登群恐龙脚印的史学研究

英国的怀特岛，通常被称为“恐龙岛”，保存着欧洲最广泛的早白垩纪恐龙记录之一。从19世纪的开创性发现到现代摄影测量和三维建模，技术研究增强了对威尔登群恐龙组合的认识，并为其组成和古生态提供了关键证据。许多轨道站点的可达性和全年可见性促进了地质旅游，突出了它们的双重科学和教育意义。本文首次对怀特岛恐龙技术进行了全面的综述，综合了分散的文献，为今后的研究奠定了基础。

期刊介绍： The Proceedings of the Geologists'' Association is an international geoscience journal that was founded in 1859 and publishes research and review papers on all aspects of Earth Science. In particular, papers will focus on the geology of northwestern Europe and the Mediterranean, including both the onshore and offshore record. Following a long tradition, the PGA will focus on: i) a range of article types (see below) on topics of wide relevance to Earth Sciences ii) papers on aspects of Earth Science that have societal relevance including geoconservation and Earth management, iii) papers on palaeoenvironments and palaeontology of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, iv) papers on aspects of Quaternary geology and climate change, and v) papers on the history of geology with particular reference to individuals that have shaped the subject. These topics will also steer the content of the themes of the Special Issues that are published in the PGA.
