摘要: Three sauropod trackways comprise eight tracks that resemble Brontopodus tracks have been found at the Morong track site in Changdu Prefecture, Tibet, China. These wide- (or sub-wide)-gauge tracks suggest that there was a large sauropod, possibly a member of Titanosauriformes, in Changdu Prefecture during the Early-Middle Jurassic. The sauropod fauna from Changdu Prefecture, Tibet not only has elements in common with the sauropod fauna from the Sichuan Basin, but may include more diverse faunal components.

Abstract: 记述了中国西藏昌都地区莫荣化石点的三道蜥脚类恐龙行迹，共8个足迹，这些足迹被归入雷龙足迹(Brontopodus)。这些具有宽或亚宽的行迹表明，早—中侏罗世的昌都地区可能生活有大型的巨龙形类。该发现还表明，西藏昌都地区的蜥脚类恐龙动物群不仅具有与四川盆地蜥脚类动物群相同的要素，还可能具有更多样化的动物区系成分。
