Abstract

Na nalazištu otisaka dinosaura Solaris II napravljena su geodetska snimanja te je izrađen digitalni model izdanka na kojem je rađena analiza otisaka pomoću QGIS programa. Lokalitet se nalazi unutar nudističkog kampa „Solaris“ u blizini Červara. Pronađeni su otisci teropodnih i sauropodnih dinosaura a istraživanje je vršeno na teropodnim otiscima. Analizirana je 21 od prije poznatih staza, tri nove staze i 29 novootkrivenih pojedinačnih otisaka. Tridaktilni otisci s nalazišta Solaris II pripadaju srednje velikim teropodnim dinosaurima dužine od oko tri metra. Na temelju izračunate brzine kretanja može se zaključiti da su ti teropodi s nalazišta u većini slučajeva hodali. Usporedba tih otisaka s otiscima na drugim lokalitetima iste starosti u Istri pokazuje da su dinosauri slične morfologije, veličine i načina kretanja te da vjerojatno pripadaju istim ili sličnim vrstama teropodnih dinosaura.

Abstract (english)

Digital model of outcrop Solaris II was created by geodetic methods and further analysis is performed by QGIS softweare. Outcrop is located in „Solaris“ campground, near Červar. There was found dinosaur footprints that belongs to theropods and sauropods. Analysis was made only on theropod footprints, which include 21 known traces, 3 new traces and 29 new individual footprints. Tridactyl footprints on Solaris II outcrop belongs to middle sized theropods that was approximately 3 meters in lenght. Considering the calculated movement speed, we can conclude that in most cases these theropods were walking. Comparison of those footprints with other late Albian footprints from Istria shows very similar morphology, dimensions and gait, which indicate that those footprints belonged to same or similar theropod species.
