The identification of presumed tetrapod tracks is not always unequivocal. Other sedimentary structures have been repeatedly mistaken for tracks, including other trace fossils such as arthropod tracks, burrows and fish feeding traces; erosional features; and human-made traces. We here review instances of difficult, ambiguous, or controversial cases that have been discussed in the literature. We then discuss four main criteria for the verification of tetrapod tracks: (1) preservation of regular trackway morphology, (2) preservation of track morphology, (3) deformation structures (best seen in cross-section) and (4) the temporal or environmental context. Of these criteria, criterion 1 is the most unambiguous and has rarely been challenged. We ...
