). Manus imprint is larger than the pes, deeper in epirelief preservation. Usually, footprints show unorganized radial large wrinkles, and digital and metatarsal / metacarpal position are ambiguous. The technical imaging shows five thick digits in the manus with large metacarpal imprints, and three-digit imprints in the digitigrade pes imprint. Outlines of digit imprints in pes and manus are unclear.

Morphology and quality of the preservation of footprints are controlled by numerous factors, partly related to sedimentological features of the substrate and others by the biological characteristics of the track-maker and, finally, preservational conditions. Some reports of vertebrate tracks include ambiguous footprints with unusual morphology; these mostly were reported from the dinosaur tracks (e. g.,

In comparison, the pentadactyl toes of proboscideans, embedded by digital thick cushions and their broad sole, are flat and full of wrinkles. The impressions of these feet are large oval to subcircular imprints, with large and flat sole surfaces either ornamented or smooth. The digit impressions may point anteriorly (
