Bradley Flynn Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Went for a bush walk today and found some beautiful track ways. These tracks and trails are part of the early permian, Ecca group, prince Albert formation. I don't really pay much attention to tracks, but these where just out of this world (for me atleast) and was definitely the find of this extremely hot day. These pictures do not do these fossils justice... Zoom in and enjoy. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley Flynn Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 I see some of the quality has been lost on some pictures, maybe the black and white shows better. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjfriend Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Love those! My favorites are the ones that appear to have associated tail drag marks as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdp Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I wasn't aware of any tetrapod tracks or fossils from the Ecca aside from mesosaurids. Are local workers aware of these trackways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdp Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Looking closely, I think the majority of these trackways may be arthropod and not tetrapod. I wonder if these belong to eurypterids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are local workers aware of these trackways? The tracks are from an unknown arthropod species, could be eurypterids, the the drag marks where left by fish. These trace fossils are in the Prince Albert fm which forms part of the Ecca basin and is below the Whitehill mesosaurid layers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley Flynn Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Here are some trackways from the same formation in a different area. I think these have been exposed to the elements much longer than the trace fossils above and are not as clear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
