Abstract

Dinosaur footprints occur in fluvial and deltaic Rhaetian and Hettangian strata of the Höganäs Formation in Skáne (Scania), southern Sweden. The Rhaetian tracks are assigned to Grallator (Eubrontes) cf. giganteus while the Hettangian ones are assigned to Grallator (Eubrontes) soltykovensis. The tracks were left by large theropods crossing deltaic and alluvial plains.
