Abstract
The ability of tracks to record whole foot morphology including details of web and hallux configuration allows for fine discrimination of foot morphology and comparison with web-footed tracks from other regions and geologic time periods. As is the case with modern shore birds, Cretaceous tracks were probably mostly made by adults whose foot size as well as shape is probably indicative of the identity of the track maker at low taxonomic levels.
