A webbed footprint of Carnian (Tuvalian) age, discovered near Cles (Trentino-Alto Adige, NE Italy), is described. The specimen is compared with other coeval tracks, in particular with those of the Dogna ichnosite (Julian Alps, NE Italy), that are interpreted as preservational variants. The relationship between possible palmate trackmakers and evidence of webbing in the tracks are discussed. The trackmaker is interpreted as a quadrupedal crocodylomorph showing possible aquatic adaptations.

Abstract
A webbed footprint of Carnian (Tuvalian) age, discovered near Cles (Trentino-Alto Adige, NE Italy), is described. The specimen is compared with other coeval tracks, in particular with those of the Dogna ichnosite (Julian Alps, NE Italy), that are interpreted as preservational variants. The relationship between possible palmate trackmakers and evidence of webbing in the tracks are discussed. The trackmaker is interpreted as a quadrupedal crocodylomorph showing possible aquatic adaptations.File in questo prodotto:
