安徽省黄山地区恐龙(足迹)脚印化石的初步研究

余心起, 小林快次, 吕君昌   

Abstract: The dinosaur tracksites and two isolated footprints from the Late Cretaceous of southern Anhui are briefly reported here. Based on morphology and aspects of the trackways, it suggests that most of trackways were left by bipedal dinosaurs, and at least three kinds of dinosaurs (Sauropoda, Theropoda and Ornithopoda) are identifiable, implying these dinosaurs co-existed. The isolated footprints belong to small dinosaurs, Theropoda and Omithopoda. At the locality, dinosaur bones and eggs are also occurred. The discovery of these dinosaur tracksites, bones, and eggs provides us important information for the study of paleoenvironment of the area and dinosaur behavior.

摘要: 简要报道了安徽省黄山地区所发现的恐龙足迹化石。从脚印的形态和足迹上看,至少有三种不同的恐龙(蜥脚类、兽脚类、鸟脚类)共同生存过,其中多数恐龙为两足行走性的。记述了两个典型的小型兽脚类和小型鸟脚类恐龙所留下的脚印化石。黄山地区恐龙足迹、骨骼化石及其蛋化石的发现,对于研究晚白垩世恐龙生活习性以及古气候环境均有着一定的意义。
