摘要:
2016年8月,在位于西昌盆地边缘的四川美姑县中侏罗统沙溪庙组底部薄层粉砂岩之上,发现有恐龙足迹化石。恐龙足迹共3个,均与跷脚龙足迹相似。该发现对于古气候、古地理和地层对比都具有重要的意义,足迹详细分类有待进一步研究。
Abstract:In August, 2016, three dinosaur footprints were discovered from the bottom of the Middle Jurassic Shaximiao Formation at the edge of the Xichang basin in Meigu, Sichuan Province.The dinosaur footprints are similar to Grallator.These footprints are sig-nificant for the study of geological climate, paleogeography and stratigraphic correlation.Further research should pay attention to the detailed classification of the dinosaur footprints.
