Stratigraphy in the Italian Dolomites, and dating the dinosaur diversification event. Footprint occurrences within the chrono-stratigraphic framework of the middle and upper Triassic of the Dolomites (Southern Alps, NE Italy), and the derived abundances of dinosaurian, non-dinosaurian dinosauromorph and crurotarsan trackmakers within the associations A1, A2, and A3 described in the text. Note the correlation between the change in composition of the associations and the climate shifts (climate trend and zones after ref. 11).
