Darting towards Storm Shelter: A minute dinosaur trackway from southern Africa

Darting towards Storm Shelter: A minute dinosaur trackway from southern Africa

Theropod dinosaurs are considered the main terrestrial carnivores in the Jurassic and Cretaceous. Their rise to dominance has been linked to, among others, body size changes in their early history, especially across the Triassic–Jurassic boundary. However, to qualitatively assess such temporal trend...
