Trace fossils constrain a trackmaker and behaviour, not a named body-fossil taxon or direct ancestry.
Claim ledger
morphology · mediumEifelian bedding surfaces at Zachełmie preserve quadrupedal trackways and isolated footprints with digit impressions attributed to an unidentified limbed tetrapod trackmaker; the traces do not identify a named body taxon or direct ancestor.
claim:event:zachelmie-digit-trackwaysfossil-range · mediumDigit-bearing trackways attributed to an unidentified limbed tetrapod at Zachełmie anchor the 390–0 Ma Tetrapoda evidence route; trace-maker attribution does not identify a body taxon, crown node, direct ancestor or global FAD.
