山东诸城地区恐龙足迹化石研究综述

山东诸城地区是闻名世界的恐龙化石宝库,这里不仅保存有数量巨大的晚白垩世恐龙骨骼化石,还发现有数量众多的早白垩世恐龙足迹化石。到目前为止,诸城境内共发现的恐龙足迹化石点有3处,分别为南部的皇龙沟与北部的张祝河湾和棠棣戈庄。根据前人对这3处恐龙足迹化石点的研究,对其发现和研究历史、足迹类型(包括非恐龙足迹)、不同类型足迹的大小和特征,以及古地理和古气候等进行了总结,提出了诸城恐龙足迹化石研究中亟待解决的问题。

A Review of Footprints Fossils Research in Zhucheng Area in Shandong Province

A huge number of Late Cretaceous dinosaur fossils have been found in Zhucheng area of Shandong province. There are not only a large number of early Cretaceous dinosaur skeleton fossils, but also huge amount of dinosaur footprint fossils in Zhucheng area. So far, 3 dinosaur footprint fossils places have been found in Zhucheng city, they are Huanglong in the south, Zhangzhuhewan and Tangdigezhuang in the north. Based on previous study of three dinosaur footprint fossils places, the discovery and research history, footprints (including non dinosaur footprints), the size and characteristics of different types of footprints, as well as palaeogeography and palaeoclimate have been summarized, and the problems which should be solved in studying Zhucheng dinosaur footprint fossils have been put forward.
