This review reveals taxonomic diversity in vertebrate footprints from Thailand's Mesozoic, indicating critical findings in conservation and palaeoecology.
Key Points
The research aims to synthesize Mesozoic vertebrate tracks from Thailand and assess their biogeographical significance.
Compiled known Triassic to Cretaceous vertebrate tracksites in Thailand.
Reassessed stratigraphic distribution and taxonomic diversity of footprints.
Integrated field observations with published records to evaluate temporal patterns.
Documented diverse trackmaker assemblages including theropods, sauropodomorphs, and sauropods.
Identified a major faunal transition during the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic.
Highlighted the importance of site conservation for vulnerable Triassic localities.
