Table 4. Assessment of the trackmaker affinity of BP1_01.
Track Parameters | Threshold values and probability that the track is either theropod or ornithopod | BP1_01 |
---|---|---|
L/W | 80.0% Theropod > 1.25 > Ornithopod 88.2% | 1.32 |
L/K | 70.5% Theropod > 2.00 > Ornithopod 88.0% | 1.64 |
L/M | 65.0% Theropod > 2.00 > Ornithopod 90.7% | 1.67 |
BL2/WMII | 76.1% Theropod > 2.00 > Ornithopod 97.4% | 1.70 |
BL3/WMIII | 72.7% Theropod > 2.20 > Ornithopod 97.7% | 4.1 |
BL4/WMIV | 76.1% Theropod > 2.00 > Ornithopod 97.6% | n/a |
LII/WBII | 84.6% Theropod > 3.75 > Ornithopod 90.2% | 3.51 |
LIII/WBIII | 70.6% Theropod > 4.00 > Ornithopod 91.5% | 4.27 |
LIV/WBIV | 73.7% Theropod > 3.75 > Ornithopod 93.4% | n/a |
Track measurements from BP1_01 were used to determine the likelihood of the track having either theropod or ornithopod affinity. Comparing the track parameters with [42] results in a further indeterminate result. In terms of overall track shape parameters, the track consistently presents as ornithopod while ratios of the measurements taken on individual digits yield mixed theropod and ornithopod results. The blank spaces in the table reflect parameters that incalculable because the track was broken.
