The footprint outlines are highly irregular, but some impressions do reveal possible anatomical information. They range over 20-60 cm in maximum diameter. Depth is likewise variable, but ranges mainly over 5-10 cm.
Trackways observed on the northern section of the track-bearing surface on the shoreline near Penarth, south Wales, United Kingdom: dashed lines indicate extent of displacement rims; tracks with approximately equal distancing are highlighted in black and connected with dashed lines; other tracks are in red.
