Summary

Description
Italiano: Orme di Dinosauri di Cava Pontrelli. L'affioramento di Altamura è stato il primo ad essere scoperto in Puglia.
Deutsch: Fossile Dinosaurierfährte in der Sohle des auflässigen Kalksteinbruches De Lucia auf dem Pontrelli-Anwesen (Masseria Pontrelli, die Lokalität wird daher auch „Cava Pontrelli“, Steinbruch Pontrelli, genannt), ca. 4 km östlich von Altamura, Metropolregion Bari, Apulien, Süditalien. Es handelt sich um den Holotyp der Ichnospezies Apulosauripus federicianus NICOSIA et al. 1999. Die Fährte besteht aus Positiv-Abdrücken (konkaven Epireliefs) der Trittsiegel von Vorder- und Hintergliedmaßen in einem feinkörnigen Kalkstein, der das schlammige, karbonatreiche Substrat einer urzeitlichen Wattfläche repräsentiert. Die spurenführende Schicht ist Teil der Altamura-Formation, deren Alterseinstufung zwischen Turon und Maastricht (höhere Oberkreide) schwankt. Spurenerzeuger waren wahrscheinlich Hadrosaurier ähnlich der nordamerikanischen Gattung Edmontosaurus.[1][2]
English: Fossil dinosaur tracks at the quarry floor of the abandoned De Lucia limestone quarry at the Pontrelli estate (Masseria Pontrelli, the locality hence is also called “Cava Pontrelli”, i.e. Pontrelli quarry), about 4 km east of the town of Altamura, metropolitan area of Bari, Apulia, southern Italy. This track is the holotype of the ichnospecies Apulosauripus federicianus NICOSIA et al. 1999. It is composed of concave imprints of fore and hindfeet in a fine-grained limestone which represents the muddy deposits of an ancient tidal flat environment. The track-bearing bed is part of the Altamura Limestone Formation whose age estimation ranges from the Turonian to the Maastrichtian (higher Upper Cretaceous). Trackmaker probably was a hadrosaur similar to the North American genus Edmontosaurus.[1][2]
