Abstract The ichnology between marine and non-marine environments is a key field of work concerning the understanding variation environmental parameters in inland-to-offshore transitional environments. In order to understand geological palaeobiological processes at these locations, this Special Publication attempts discuss records shallow-marine throughout Phanerozoic, including topics such as ichnotaxonomy, ichnofacies analysis, ichnofabric analysis for from both environments, neoichnological aspects. volume includes 14 papers total: one focused on aspects neoichnology rock iguanas coastal settings, nine various palaeoenvironment four addressing issues about dinosaur tracks

Abstract Dinosaur tracks are considerably common in the fossil record and were described from many areas world. They provide a live picture of dinosaur behaviour offer valuable data about different aspects trackmaker paleobiology. The ichnological allows gain information autopod anatomy, functional adaptations, stance gaits with which dinosaurs moved. This information, is often difficult to obtain body-fossil alone, making inferences not only concerning single individuals who produced footprints, but also within an evolutionary context. Footprints evidences abilities that had swim, run or certain pathologies. allowed inferring how they move herds even made courtship rituals. study enables reconstruction paleocommunities including predator–prey interaction. On other hand, footprints useful paleoenvironmental indicators, informing moisture content, bathymetry, paleocurrents, subaqueous substrates, zonations lacustrine margins, etc. In addition, it has been proposed track assemblages can be related facies (ichnofacies), order refine reconstructions. sometimes shadow respect skeletal record. However, obtained complements completes knowledge we have life dinosaurs, showing previously unknown aspects. work overview non-avian trying answer some questions their life.
