So what would an Archie track look like?
Three-toed or two-toed. The 1st toe didn't touch the ground, and it's
not clear if the hyperextensible 2nd toe did.
Are there any 2-toed fossil tracks known?
I could not find any trace online, but one would think (looking at the ostrich
foot) that theropods in xeric environments might take the same route,
Archie-types aside...
