摘要

摘要：在亚利桑那州朱红色悬崖国家纪念碑Coyote Buttes地区暴露的风成下侏罗纪纳瓦霍砂岩中，一个遗址（非正式地称为“恐龙舞池”）被重新解释为一个神秘的、经过修饰的（可能是成土的）风成表面，它被现代风化和侵蚀暴露并进一步修饰和强调。由此形成的表面覆盖着小而浅的坑洞或风化坑，没有恐龙活动的直接证据。

WEATHERING PITS VERSUS TRAMPLE MARKS: A REINTERPRETATION OF THE “DINOSAUR DANCE FLOOR”: A JURASSIC NAVAJO SandSTONE SURFACE IN THE VERMILION CLIFFS NATIONAL MONUMENT, ARIZONA

Abstract: Within the eolian Lower Jurassic Navajo Sandstone, exposed in the Coyote Buttes area of Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in Arizona, a site (informally known as the “Dinosaur Dance Floor”) is reinterpreted as an enigmatic, modified (possibly pedogenic) eolian surface that was exposed and further modified and accentuated by modern weathering and erosion. The resultant surface is covered with small, shallow potholes or weathering pits, with no direct evidence of dinosaur activity.

期刊介绍： PALAIOS is a monthly journal, founded in 1986, dedicated to emphasizing the impact of life on Earth''s history as recorded in the paleontological and sedimentological records. PALAIOS disseminates information to an international spectrum of geologists and biologists interested in a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to, biogeochemistry, ichnology, paleoclimatology, paleoecology, paleoceanography, sedimentology, stratigraphy, geomicrobiology, paleobiogeochemistry, and astrobiology. PALAIOS publishes original papers that emphasize using paleontology to answer important geological and biological questions that further our understanding of Earth history. Accordingly, manuscripts whose subject matter and conclusions have broader geologic implications are much more likely to be selected for publication. Given that the purpose of PALAIOS is to generate enthusiasm for paleontology among a broad spectrum of readers, the editors request the following: titles that generate immediate interest; abstracts that emphasize important conclusions; illustrations of professional caliber used in place of words; and lively, yet scholarly, text.
