  • Total 57 sauropod tracks are found from the Cretaceous Kyokpori Formation in the Buangun, Jeollabukdo, Korea. Six sauropod trackways in second stratigraphic level of three stratigraphic levels were recognized and described. The type of sauropod trackways is a wide-gauge trackway which has been generally in Cretaceous sauropod trackways. On the basis of foot length, trackway orientations, and preservation, all of the tracks are thought to have been made by small sauropods moving not only towards and away from the shoreline but also along the shoreline of lacustrine environment.
