Figure 19. Hierarchy of transmitted reliefs: the basic elements.

Figure 19

Two sauropod footprints, each underlain by its own stack of transmitted reliefs, are enclosed in a single larger basin of transmitted reliefs. Scale is 1 foot (c. 31 cm), but tilted and foreshortened. This specimen encapsulates the basis of hierarchical pattern - two stacks of transmitted reliefs nested into a single larger basin of transmitted reliefs.
