Summary

Description
English: Map of major geological features and tracks at the Moyeni tracksite. Trackways of Anomoepus and Grallator are in solid green and blue, respectively; all other trackways are in 50% grey. Trackway numbering (Arabic numerals) begins with the first recognized step of each trackmaker. Grallator tracks 1 and 2 are not shown because they are now underneath a retaining wall. Red wavy lines indicate ripple marks; solid light grey fields indicate algal-matted surface. The inset highlights postural and gait changes in the Anomoepus trackway, which was made by a basal ornithischian. A shift from wide-gauge to narrow-gauge posture (between tracks 13 and 14) is marked by shift in pace angulation (blue dotted line) and was accompanied by a brief pause, during which the tail registered on the substrate when tracks 12 and 13 were impressed. The shift from a quadrupedal to a bipedal gait (between tracks 15 and 16) occurs atop the algal matted surface. Note that Grallator track 11 (blue) overprints Anomoepus track 15, indicating it was made later. Grid pattern forms 1 meter squares for both maps. Abbreviations: lm, left manus; lp, left pes; mt, metatarsus; rm, right manus; rp, right pes; t, tail; Roman numerals indicate pedal digits.
