Abstract

"An ichnocenosis from Serrote do Letreiro (Sousa Basin, Early Cretaceous, Brazil) is described. This ichnocoenosis consists of 20 isolated footprints, 4 short trackways and is interpreted as mainly produced by sauropods. Some theropod footprints are also present. The sauropod footprints have a main alignement along NNW-ESE direction and they are oriented mainly toward ESE. They are indicative of a sauropod herd, composed of 16 individuals, and furnish evidence of gregilrioLlsness. The ichnofossils from Serrote do Letreiro are usually very shallow footprints probably due to the poor granulometric sorting and the low plasticity of the sandy substrate, related to alluvial sands 10- cated near the basin border."
