摘要 | A small tetrapod footprint assemblage from the Anning Formation (Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous) at Konglongshan Town, Yunnan Province, China, contains possible swim traces attributable to theropod dinosaurs based on their tridactyl and mesaxonic pes morphology. Morphotypes are tentatively assigned to the ichnogenera Characichnos and Wintonopus, a third one is similar to Hatcherichnus. Due to the inherent variability observed in tetrapod swim tracks, the names are used here informally describing footprints that reflect a distinct trackmaker behavior rather than anatomically accurate images of the pes anatomy. Variation of the imprint shape is obviously due to extramorphological effects and does not indicate taxonomic diversity of trackmakers. Elongate, slender impressions associated with these tracks are discussed here as possible tail traces. Trackmakers were possibly buoyant and active swimming individuals touching and scratching the bottom of deeper waterbodies with the distal ends of their digits. The orientation of the traces perpendicular to preserved ripples suggest cross-current movement and activities. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. and Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, CAS.
