		There are even some thrills for those of us fascinated by dinosaur trace fossils (ichnites), such as footprints, coprolites, and gastroliths.
		Adding a bit of paleo-ichnological mystery to the feast, in Text-Figure 10.4 (images a and b) one sees two examples of a rather large, seemingly tetra-dactyl (four-toed) dinosaur footprint cast (natural, not man-made) of unknown origin that is strikingly similar to a somewhat smaller one I found here in the Early Cretaceous of Maryland.
		I've been puzzling over the possible origin of that good-quality but highly unusual track for over a year now, and it is interesting to see that the Early Cretaceous of the Isle of Wight reveals something similar.
