Middle Triassic tetrapod footprints of southern South America

Abstract

En América del Sur, huellas de tetrápodos del Triásico Medio sólo se conocen en niveles de las cuencas Cuyana (Formación Cerro de las Cabras) e Ischigualasto-Villa Unión (Formación Los Rastros), en el centro-oeste de Argentina. Las huellas son escasas y la mayoría de los especímenes no están descriptos. En el presente trabajo el significado de estas huellas y sus supuestos generadores son discutidos en un contexto filogenético. Así, varios grupos de tetrápodos han sido identificados como terápsidos no mamalianos, arcosaurios crurotarsales y probables dinosaurios. La presencia de arcosaurios crurotarsales y terápsidos no mamalianos en niveles de la Formación Cerro de las Cabras sugiere una fauna más diversa que lo que indica el registro de restos fósiles esqueletarios conocidos para los mismos niveles. Las icnitas de la Formación Los Rastros son hasta el momento la única evidencia de amniotas en la Cuenca de Ischigualasto-Villa Unión durante la depositación de dichos niveles. Ellas indican la existencia de probables dinosaurios, arcosaurios crurotarsales y terápsidos no mamalianos, bien representados en el resto de la sequencia por restos esqueletarios.

In South America, tetrapod footprints of Middle Triassic age were only described from the Cuyana (Cerro de las Cabras Formation) and Ischigualasto-Villa Unión (Los Rastros Formation) basins in west-central Argentina. They are scarce and remain mostly undescribed. Their significance and the putative trackmakers are identified and discussed within a phylogenetic context in the present contribution. Several groups of tetrapods are suggested to be represented, as non-mammalian therapsids, crurotarsal archosaurs and putative dinosaurs. The presence of crurotarsal archosaurs and non-mammalian therapsids in Cerro de las Cabras Formation suggests a tetrapod fauna more diverse than that documented by the known body fossil record. The ichnites described from the Los Rastros Formation are, until now, the only evidence of amniotes in the Ischigualasto-Villa Unión Basin during the deposition of these levels. They indicate the presence of putative dinosaurs, crurotarsal archosaurs and non-mammalian therapsids, which are already well represented in the rest of the sequence by skeletal remains.
