In the December ' 97 issue of Scientific American there is an article by
David Thomas and James Farlow concerning the Paluxy River trackways . They
speculate that one of the trackways show evidence of 1 theropod attacking a
single sauropod . Adjacent to this track sequence are footprints of several
other sauropods , sugguesting that the sauropod being attacked had been
separated from the herd. No other theropod tracks are shown in this
sequence .
