Abstract

A trackway from near the base of the Valtos Sandstone Formation (Bathonian, Jurassic) was discovered on a loose block of bioclastic sandstone. Nine distinct track cast, and some less distinct, are persevered in hyporelief on a mud-cracked surface with two sea-worn counterparts of three of the tracks. Of these tracks only four can be associated with confidence into two trackways. The individual track sizes range from about 18cm to over 30cm in length and are characteristic of a Eubrontes/Grallator association.
