The shape of the footprints are similar to the duck's and they were the oldest webbed footprints of a bird in the world when reported in 1995. The other footprints of dinosaurs and pterosaurs coexistent with the birds' on the same stratum imply that dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and birds lived together in the same area.
