Summary

"Martin Lockley teams up with Christian Meyer to present an up-to-date synthesis of the recent findings in the field of European fossil footprints. Drawing extensively on their own research results from studies in Britain, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, and elsewhere, the authors create a dynamic picture of mammal, reptile, bird, and amphibian track-makers through more than 300 million years of vertebrate evolution, placed in the context of Europe's changing ancient environments."--Jacket.
