“…Putative trackways of ceratopsid dinosaurs [9] and some pterosaurs [55][56][57] seem to indicate that they employed upright/sagittal quadrupedal limb orientations, which are consistent with our result. The estimated posture of Triceratops in this study is also consistent with the posture estimated from skeletal morphologies of the antebrachium and manus [17,18] as well as shoulder [15,16], implying that the humerus was kept adducted near the trunk.…”

“…Pteraichnus and other supposed pterosaur traces were reviewed by who concluded that only the type ichnospecies, P. saltwashensis, was taxonomically valid and that the differences between other taxa could be considered as due to preservational factors. They also concluded that the supposed pterosaurian affinities (Wright et al 1997) of another ichnogenus, Purbeckopus, were probably dubious . They emended the ichnogeneric diagnosis of Pteraichnus and further suggested ) that the ichnogenus Agadirichnus, which had previously been thought to be a lacertilian trace (Ambroggi & Lapparent 1954), might be a 'possible senior synonym of Pteraichnus'.…”

“…Since the first pterosaur trackway (Pteraichnus saltwashensis) was described from the Morrison Formation in 1957 (Stokes, 1957), the ichnologic record of Late Jurassic to Late Cretaceous pterosaurs has increased significantly in recent years (Lockley et al, 1995Mazin et al, 1995Mazin et al, , 1997Wright et al, 1997;Garcia-Ramos et al, 2000;Calvo and Lockley, 2001;Fuentes Vidarte, 2001;Meijide Calvo, 2001;Meijide Fuentes, 2001;Hwang et al, 2002;Rodriguez-de la Rosa, 2003;Kim et al, 2006;Li et al, 2006;Zhang et al, 2006;Lee et al, 2008). Except for two pterosaur ichnotaxa from Oncala, Soria, Spain (Fuentes Vidarte et al, 2004a,b), Asia has produced the most abundant pterosaur tracks of the world.…”
