D. L. CLARK1 & M. K. BRETT-SURMAN2 1Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow, University Avenue, Glasgow, G12 8QQ, UK (e-mail: [email protected]) 2Smithsonian Institution, Department of Paleobiology, PO Box 37012, MRC 121 Washington, DC 20013-7012, USA Synopsis Measurements of Middle Jurassic tridactyl dinosaur tracks from the Bathonian, Lealt Shale, Valtos Sandstone, Duntulm and Kilmaluag formations of the Isle of Skye, UK, are compared to the same measurements taken for dinosaur footprints from the Bajocian, Gypsum Spring and the Bathonian, Sundance Formation of the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, USA. Principal component analysis of the data suggests that the smaller footprints from the Valtos Sandstone and Kilmaluag formations are indistinguishable from the footprints of the Sundance Formation. The single footprint from the Lealt Shale Formation is similar to the larger footprints from the Valtos Sandstone Formation. The footprints from the Duntulm and Gypsum Springs formations form distinct groupings from all other footprints. Four different groupings of dinosaur footprints can be recognized from the principal component analysis that may represent at least four different types of dinosaur.

Localities/specimens within states are organized by upriver and upsection (as much as possible). Hayden most likely did not collect each specimen from the same location. Thus "specimen" numbers are effectively localities. Hayden entries are reorganized by primary lithology, followed by descriptive information. Data, spellings, stratigraphy, and nomenclature are of Hayden; annotations are given for clarity (e.g., name changes, locations).
