Summary

Description
English: Original figure caption: Trackway S1 (Eosauropus sp.), here attributed to a sauropod trackmaker based on pedal synapomorphies; trackmaker is moving towards the south-west. Two consequtive pes impressions of a tridactyl Grallator [i.e. a theropod] trackway can be seen left to the S1 trackway.
Note: The tracks are preserved on a bedding plane of a thin siltstone bed of the Late Triassic Fleming Fjord Formation of East Greenland. A) shows a photograph of the trackway(s) as preserved on the bedding plane (i.e. as concave epireliefs); B) shows a color shaded relief map based on a high-resolution photogrammetric 3D-model of the bedding plane; C) is an interpretative outline drawing of the S1 trackway; abbreviations: LM = left manus (i.e. forefoot), LP = left pes (i.e. hindfoot), RM = right manus, RP = right pes, numbers increase in walking direction.

Deutsch: Tetrapodenspurenfossilien Eosauropus sp. (die größeren rundlichen Trittsiegel rechts – erzeugt von einem Dinosaurier aus der Gruppe der Sauropoda) und Grallator sp. (die kleineren dreistrahligen Trittsiegel links – erzeugt von einem Dinosaurier aus der Gruppe der Theropoda), erhalten als konkave Epireliefs auf der Schichtfläche einer geringmächtigen Siltsteinlage der spättriassischen Fleming-Fjord-Formation von Ostgrönland. A) zeigt ein Foto der Fährten, wie sie auf der Schichtfläche erhalten sind; B) zeigt eine farbcodierte Reliefkarte, basierend auf einem hochauflösenden photogrammetrischen 3D-Modell der Schichtfläche; C) ist eine interpretative Linienzeichnung der Eosauropus-Fährte; Abkürzungen: LM = linker Manus (d.h. Vorderfuß), LP = linker Pes (d.h. Hinterfuß), RM = rechter Manus, LP = rechter Pes, die Zahlen nehmen in Laufrichtung zu.
