dinosaur tracks
Ancient reptile impressions
Dinosaur tracks are fossilized footprints left by dinosaurs in ancient mud or sand that hardened into rock over millions of years.
These trace fossils reveal information about dinosaur behavior, movement, and anatomy that skeletal remains cannot: The dinosaur tracks showed the animal was running.
Trackways—sequences of prints—can indicate whether dinosaurs traveled alone or in groups.
