Abstract: Numerous footprints of dinosaurs, pterosaurs and birds, together with arthropod tracks, have been discovered in the upper Cretaceous Uhangri Formation which crops out along the south-western coastline of South Korea. This ichnofauna contains the first pterosaur tracks reported from Asia. The digitigrade tridactyl manus impressions exhibit features of a typical pterosaur hand print. The pes impressions, however, show features that are different from pterosaur footprints reported previously: there is no vis… Show more

“…It seems likely that more pterosaur tracks, both manus and pes, will be discovered in the Lower Cantwell Formation of DENA. Tracks attributed to other members of the family Pteraichnidae, but morphologically distinct from the DENA track, have been noted in the Late Cretaceous of Korea (Hwang et al, 2002). Frey et al (2003) identified two types of handprints: a large-clawed form and a short-clawed form.…”
