Abstract

The Jurassic Guará Formation (Paraná Basin) was established in the early 2000's and since then dinosaur tracks and trackways have been found at the southwestern Rio Grande do Sul State of Brazil and in its Uruguayan counterpart, the Batoví Member of the Tacuarembó Formation. Sauropod, theropod, ankylosaurs and ornithopod dinosaur tracks have already been described from eolian facies of the Guará-Batoví unit, but some other new findings are reported here for first time. Saurischian tracks are the most common, being represented by narrow- to very wide-gauge sauropod trackways and at least two theropod track morphotypes, one of which comparable to the ichnogenera Iberosauripus and Jurabrontes. Ornithischian tracks are rarer but, up to this point, two lineages have been recorded. Ankylosaur tracks were recently described and compared to Metatetrapous, conjecture corroborated by new material. Ornithopod tracks are underrepresented at the Guará-Batoví. Although the dinosaur track record of the Guará-Batoví unit is mostly composed of undertracks, true tracks can also occur. This work aims to present a concise state of the art about the dinosaur ichnology of the Guará-Batoví unit. Together with invertebrate traces and the body fossil record of this unit, the paleogeographical, paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic context of the dinosaur tracks are discussed.
