Theropod Tridactyl Tracks Across the Triassic–Jurassic Boundary in Southern Africa: Implications for Pedal Morphology Evolution

Theropod Tridactyl Tracks Across the Triassic–Jurassic Boundary in Southern Africa: Implications for Pedal Morphology Evolution

The end-Triassic mass extinction events mark a pivotal period in archosaur history, and have been proposed to contribute to the rise and dominance of dinosaurs throughout the Mesozoic. In southern Africa, the Triassic–Jurassic boundary is contained within the richly fossiliferous fluvio-lacustrine-a...
