Monuran trackway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Monuran trackway is a fossil trackway produced by the extinct insect group called Monurans, (meaning "one-tail"), from the Lower Permian. The monuran is a wingless jumping insect; thus the means of locomotion is jumping, then walking. The trackway is composed of an initial beginning 'flop and bodyprint', then a series of foot tracks with a tail-drag/body-drag in between.
The ichnofossil name of the monuran footprint is called Tonganoxichnus.
