Term | Definition |
---|---|
Track | A single footprint or partial impression made by the foot of an animal |
True track | A track whose lower surface was in contact with the plantar surface of the track-makers foot |
Under track | A track that is formed by the compression of sediment below the track-makers foot. When exhumed an under track may be visible but its surface will not have been directly in contact with the track-makers foot, if for example the original contact surface has eroded. Thulborn () use the term transmitted relief to describe an under track which describes the situation well, but has not been widely adopted |
Elite track | A well-preserved true track (Lockley and Hunt ) |
Trackway | A series of tracks made by the same animal (Leonardi ) |
Track-maker | The animal that made the track |
Tracked surface | The surface or palaeosurface on which the track-maker walked/moved (Forns et al. ) |
Overall track | If the track walls sides of a print are not vertical then the outer track dimension (overall track) will be larger than the dimension of the track-makers foot or the track bottom (true track; Brown ) |
Internal overtrack | Forms by covering of the track bottom (true track) without covering the entire overall track. Often associated with the trapping of sediment within microbial mats formed in the wet print interiors (Marty et al. ) |
Natural track cast | A mould of a track formed by infilling sediment forming a negative replica (Lockley ) |
Overprinting | Caused by the track-maker or another animal overprinting an original track |
Displacement rim | A marginal rim of a track formed by the displacement of sediment, sometimes referred to as a push-up structure or a bourrelet (Allen ) |
