The article presenting the research results was published online at the end of February in the journal Ichnos. The study focuses on two trackways (T1 and T2) preserved as convex hyporeliefs on the underside of a Late Jurassic sandstone layer, approximately 152 million years old, from the cliffs east of Playa de España (Villaviciosa). The specimens are now part of the museum's collection and are on display in the gallery dedicated to the Asturian Jurassic.
