“…Theropods account for a majority (97%) of these trackmakers, especially small species. Our discoveries increase the estimated number of trackmakers in the Xiaoba Formation, to 150, when combined with the 55 estimated in 2016, which surpasses the 123 known from the Feitianshan Formation (Xing and Lockley, 2016). These abundant track records offset the absence of skeletal records in the Xichang Basin.…”

“…Collectively the Luogan and Apuruha sites have yielded non-avian theropod tracks of the Grallator-type (Jialingpus), Eubrontes-type, Velociraptorichnus, and the sauropod ichnogenus Brontopodus. This is an entirely saurischian dominated track assemblage, as is typical of the Chinese lower Cretaceous, especially in southern China (Xing and Lockley, 2016).…”

“…Of these occur in Sichuan Province in the aforementioned Jiaguan, Feitianshan and Xiaoba Formations, which have collectively yielded 26 sites at latest count, an increase from 21 reported in 2016 (Xing and Lockley, 2016): i.e., a ~24% increase in known sites. Deinonychosaurian tracks are reported from ~20% of Early Cretaceous assemblages from southwestern China, but are not abundant as tridactyl theropod trackmakers at these sites.…”

“…Previous estimates of 55 trackmakers reported from the Xiaoba Formation, and 301 and 123 from the Jiaguan and Feitianshan formations, respectively (Xing and Lockley, 2016), can now be revised, upward, on the basis of new reports. These include an additional 95 potential Xiaoba Formation trackmakers, based on the present study, increasing the Xiaoba total to ~150 and an estimated additional 4, 2 and 18 trackways from the Jiaguan Formation based on three recent reports (Xing et al, 2017b and2018 respectively).…”

The rapid rate of discovery of Lower Cretaceous tetrapod tracksites in terrestrial sequences on the Sichuan Basin area is such that the 2016 report of 21 sites in the Xiaoba, Feitianshan and Jiaguan Formations is now increased by ~24% to 26 sites. Of these seven occur in the Xiaoba Formation, including two new sites (Luogan and Apuruha) described here. Likewise, there has been a similar increase in reports of sites from the Jiaguan Formation, from 12 to 15 sites (=25%) in the same period. The total of estimated trackmakers, based on trackways, not individual tracks, is ~598 for all three formations, including~150 from the Xiaoba Formation, and ~325 from the Jiaguan Formation.

A single well-preserved theropod trackway identified as Eubrontes was discovered in the Lower Cretaceous (Berriasian-Valanginian) Cangxi Formation on the northern margin of the Sichuan Basin This is the first report of tracks from this formation. The occurrence is consistent with reports of theropod dominated ichnofaunas from broadly coeval deposits such as the Feitianshan Formation in southern parts of the basin. There is growing evidence that Eubrontes and Eubrontes-like tracks are common in the Lower Cretaceous of Sichuan Province.
