Constructing and testing hypotheses of dinosaur foot motions from fossil tracks using digitization and simulation

Whilst bones present a static view of extinct animals, fossil footprints are a direct record of the activity and motion of the track maker. Deep footprints are a particularly good record of foot motion. Such footprints rarely look like the feet that made them; the sediment being heavily disturbed by...
