Variation in Late Jurassic tridactyl dinosaur tracks

Minute to medium-sized tridactyl dinosaur footprints from the tracksites of Highway A16 in the Jura Mountains represent one of the largest samples from the Late Jurassic worldwide. Researchers conducted Integrated analyses of the quality of preservation, the maximum depth, the shape variation along the trackway, and the footprint proportions
