Abundant, well-preserved 110-120-million-year-old footprints, belonging to a large bipedal ancestor of modern-day crocodiles, were recently discovered in the Lower Cretaceous Jinju Formation in South Korea. Professor Emeritus Martin Lockley, paleontologist Kyung Soo Kim (of Chinju National University of Education in South Korea), and colleagues describe the puzzling fossil tracks in a paper published last week in Scientific Reports.
