Bull. Ibaraki Nat. Mus., (13): 1-21, pls.1-4 (2010) 1 2010 9 7 Large Mammalian Fossil Footprints Discovered from the Miocene Asakawa Formation in Daigo Town, Ibaraki Prefecture Hisao ANDO, Wataru KOIKE, Yoshiki KODA and Yoshiaki OKAMURA (Accepted September 7, 2010) Abstract Large mammalian fossil footprints were discovered from two localities of the Lower Miocene Asakawa Formation in Takikura, Daigo Town, Ibaraki Prefecture. The mode of occurrence and three-dimensional morphology of the footprints are described on the basis of the detailed observation on the exposed bedding plane, photographs, silicon resin molds taken from outcrops and moiré images of the molds. The footprints in each locality are preserved as natural casts and sole marks on the lower bedding surface of trough crossstratified, coarse- to medium-grained sandstone which seems to have deposited under braided river channel environments. The footprints themselves had been formed on the underlying siltstone layers of flood plain origin. The well-preserved five and four footprints among a total of 18 and 11 footprints from locality 1 and 2 respectively are analyzed in terms of three-dimensional morphology. As all of five footprints from locality 1 show three-digit bearing form, similar to a Japanese maple leaf, their producer is inferred to be a Perissodactylan animal such as rhinoceros or tapir. On the other hand, four footprints in locality 2 have elliptical form with a few frontal small projections and rear-side smooth arched outline, and this shape suggests Proboscidea as a footprint maker. Though a traveling direction of each well-preserved footprint can be inferred from its anteroposterior direction, it is difficult to recognize trackways from the distribution pattern of the footprints on the bedding surface. Key words: Fossil footprint, Perissodactyla, Proboscidea, Lower Miocene, Asakawa Formation, Daigo Town. はじめに 2000; 2009 310-8512 2-1-1 Faculty of Science, Ibaraki University, 2-1-1 Bunkyo, Mito, Ibaraki 310-8512, Japan 306-0622 700 Ibaraki Nature Museum, 700 Osaki, Bando, Ibaraki 306-0622, Japan 520-3005 1022-7 Shiga Fossil Footprint Research Group, 1022-7 Misono, Ritto, Shiga 520-3005, Japan
