西班牙和中国科学家在西班牙发现了1.5亿年的蜥蜴脚印,这是欧洲首条侏罗纪蜥蜴足迹。 Spanish and Chinese scientists found 150-million-year-old lizard footprints in Spain, the first Jurassic lizard trackways in Europe.

来自西班牙和中国的科学家在西班牙阿斯图里亚斯发现了欧洲首条侏罗纪蜥蜴轨迹,在《末日形成》中发现了两组有良好保护的足迹。 Scientists from Spain and China have discovered the first Jurassic lizard trackways in Europe in Asturias, Spain, with two well-preserved sets of footprints in the Lastres Formation. 一条轨道显示一个近50厘米的蜥蜴的7个指纹 其他6个来自30厘米的蜥蜴 One trackway shows seven prints from a nearly 50 cm lizard, the other six from a 30 cm one. 该发现在Ichnos发表, 标志着最近在全球发现同类, 并提供了稀有的洞察力, 了解侏罗纪晚期的小型爬行动物多样性。 The find, published in Ichnos, marks the most recent discovery of its kind globally and offers rare insight into Late Jurassic small reptile diversity. 中国研究人员利用与现代蜥蜴的实验室模拟来比较行为,这表明今天看到的一些运动和戒备态势可能可追溯到1.5亿年前。 Chinese researchers used lab simulations with modern lizards to compare behaviors, suggesting some locomotion and alert postures seen today may date back 150 million years. 这些化石现在保存在阿斯图里亚斯的侏罗纪博物馆,并展出。 The fossils are now preserved and on display at the Jurassic Museum of Asturias.
