A probable theropod dinosaur crouching trace and associated tracks from the Tuchengzi (Houcheng) Formation of Siliang Mountain, Chicheng County, Hebei Province, China are the largest theropod tracks currently known from the formation. Although the crouching trace lacks manus and tail marks, the traces are interpreted as made by a crouching theropod because they include a left metatarsal impression and associated ischial, and possibly pubic, callosity traces. This represents the third known example of an asymmetric crouching position adopted by a theropod.Key words: crouching theropod trace;Therangospodus isp.;cf.

Three sauropod trackways comprise eight tracks that resemble Brontopodus tracks have been found at the Morong track site in Changdu Prefecture, Tibet, China. These wide- (or sub-wide)-gauge tracks suggest that there was a large sauropod, possibly a member of Titanosauriformes, in Changdu Prefecture during the Early-Middle Jurassic. The sauropod fauna from Changdu Prefecture, Tibet not only has elements in common with the sauropod fauna from the Sichuan Basin, but may include more diverse faunal components. 相似文献
