Figure 4. The Australovenator prints that were measured and compared with prints from the DSNM Lark Quarry.

Symbols: small arrow entry direction; large arrow exit direction. (A) Pes forward motion; (B) Pes forward motion with heel slide; (C) Pes entered substrate at a slight angle favoring the medial side with digit IV entering substrate first, followed by full weight bearing phase, slight rotation and exiting substrate veering left; (D) Pes entered substrate at slight angle favoring the lateral side with digit IV entering substrate first, followed by full weight bearing phase, slight rotation and exiting substrate veering left, with sediment bulging up on the medial side of the heel; (E) Pes entered substrate in forward motion with digit V contacting substrate first followed by full weight bearing phase and then was rotated in situ simulating a direction change veering left; (F) Pes entered substrate at a slight angle favoring the lateral side with digit IV entering substrate first, followed by full weight bearing phase, slight rotation and exiting substrate veering left, with sediment bulging up on the medial side of the heel; (G) Pes entered substrate at a slight angle favoring the lateral side with digit IV entering substrate first, the heel did not contact the sediment and the pes exited the substrate veering left; (H) Pes entered substrate at a slight angle favoring the medial side with digit II making first contact with the substrate, the heel did not contact the sediment as the pes exited the substrate veering right, which resulted in a shallow digit IV impression; (I) Pes entered substrate in a forward motion followed by full weight bearing phase and exited the substrate in the same direction. Abbreviations: claw (c); slumping (s); tunnel (t).
