Tetrapod Track Assemblage in the Hettangian of Sołtyków, Poland, and its Paleoenvironmental Background

Large theropod and sauropod footprints predominated in the continental Zagaje Formation (early Hettangian) exposed in the Sołtyków outcrop. Geological and paleobotanical data indicate an inland seasonal habitat with low and high growing vegetation on the flood plain. The theropod-sauropod ichnofauna also contains occasional footprints of small ornithischians and mammals. The Sołtyków track assemblage, together with other similar assemblages, suggests a wide range of habitats occupied by sauropods.
