LiamL Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I found this possible dinosaur footprint today in the whitby sandstone. i’m told it’s from an ornithopod dinosaur? Thanks Liam Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Need more photos with more contrast, I think.

Rockwood Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I have no experience with tracks from that area, but it does look like it could well be a positive hyporelief of a track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 It seems wider than long. So yeah, looks like a possible ornithopod track. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinosaur man Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I’ve seen similar prints and they where from ornithopod so I agree with everyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrR Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Wow, it took me a bit before I finally saw what I believe you folks are seeing. I wasn't looking at the whole piece as being a print, with the two symmetrical sides and the third toe (?). Once I did, I guess I see it. That said, I don't think I would have ever visually put that together in the field. Congratulations to the OP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 It was pointed out to me the first time too. We don't usually see things from the grounds point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
