Figure 5.
Graphs showing maximum track depth and substrate Cu for each indenter. The horizontal dashed line depicts theoretical bearing capacity for a circular indenter applying the same pressure. (a) Struthiomimus, (b) Tyrannosaurus, (c) Brachiosaurus manus, (d) Brachiosaurus pes, (e) Edmontosaurus manus (quadrupedal loading), (f) Edmontosaurus pes (quadrupedal loading), and (g) Edmontosaurus pes (bipedal loading). Each graph shows there is a very narrow range in which tracks are generated, but the substrate is still able to support the load.
