Talk:Hibbertopteroid track

maybe I'm blind, but I can't figure out just what in the photo is supposed to be the track. Any pointers? Jafafa Hots 05:09, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Jafafa

the track itself is the sloping, curved lines on the cliff face. Remember that the track sticks out of the rock face, rather than being an indentation. Go about a hammer's length up from the hammer, and see a sort of "splodge" mark. There is a whole row of similar splodge marks. This was made by the creature's feet.

Above that is a long, sinuously curving continuous mark, which was made by the creature's tail (I think) and above that is another row of splodge marks. The caption is unclear; I'll have a go at updating it.

best

 * OK, I gotcha. What I didnt recognize was that the surface of the cliff face was apparently lifted from horizontal to vertical - I thought I was seeing strata. Jafafa Hots 08:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
