Tracking Dinosaurs: A New Look at an Ancient World
The title translates as "Dinoturbation and the Phenomenon of Vertebrate
Trampling in Ancient Environments" adopted the term dinoturbation to propose a
dinoturbation index.7 For example, a single herd will trample a given percentage
of the ...
However, a dinoturbation index has been proposed (Lockley and Conrad 1989;
Lockley 1991a, 1991bl that distinguishes light, moderate, and heavy trampling as
a measure of the surface area covered by tracks (Fig. 37.4l. It is also evident that

It is known that both factors contribute to observed trackway patterns (Lockley,

Dinosaurs Under the Aurora
At one location, the trackways were so numerous and dense that individual tracks
and trackways were hard to delineate—an example of “dinoturbation” of the
original muddy surface.23 The team finally set course downriver with hundreds of
