First reports of a probable ankylosaurian (Thyreophora) trackway from the Jindong Formation (Cenomanian) of Goseong County, South Korea
A quadrupedal trackway (GS-BHG 2) reported from the Bonghwa-gol tracksite of the Upper Cretaceous Jindong Formation (Cenomanian) shows morphological differences from other dinosaur ichnotaxa from South Korea and other Asian countries. The trackway GS-BHG 2 is characterized by an elongated pes with three short, blunt, and straight digits and oval-to kidney-shaped manus without discernible digit traces showing low heteropody and wide trackway gauge. Based on its morphological characteristics and the temporal distribution of dinosaur fauna during the ‘mid’-Cretaceous, the trackmaker of GS-BHG 2 is tentatively assigned as an ankylosaurid dinosaur, and we refer this trackway as cf. Ruopodosaurus. Pes tracks of GS-BHG 2 show differential depth in their medial and lateral parts, implying that the pressure was focused on the medial part of the pedes during locomotion.
期刊介绍:
Cretaceous Research provides a forum for the rapid publication of research on all aspects of the Cretaceous Period, including its boundaries with the Jurassic and Palaeogene. Authoritative papers reporting detailed investigations of Cretaceous stratigraphy and palaeontology, studies of regional geology, and reviews of recently published books are complemented by short communications of significant new findings.
Papers submitted to Cretaceous Research should place the research in a broad context, with emphasis placed towards our better understanding of the Cretaceous, that are therefore of interest to the diverse, international readership of the journal. Full length papers that focus solely on a local theme or area will not be accepted for publication; authors of short communications are encouraged to discuss how their findings are of relevance to the Cretaceous on a broad scale.
Research Areas include:
• Regional geology
• Stratigraphy and palaeontology
• Palaeobiology
• Palaeobiogeography
• Palaeoceanography
• Palaeoclimatology
• Evolutionary Palaeoecology
• Geochronology
• Global events.
