In his semi-popular Tracking Dinosaurs, Lockley notes (p. 30) that small
tracks may represent juveniles, and adds that track shapes for three-toed
carnivores remain surprisingly constant as the size increases. This raises
the possibility that some of these small tracks may have been hatchlings or
juveniles. However, it doesn't prove it, and the footprints clearly show
that something small and dinosaur-like (perhaps avian dinosaur-like) was
wandering around at the time.

I haven`t read Lockley`s book yet. Does it mention ( or has it been shown
anywhere) that these tiny footprints are associated with nesting sites??
