Archaeologists said they have discovered the trackway of a swimming theropod in southwest China's Sichuan Province, helping to confirm that non-avian theropods were capable of swimming.The research was conducted by both domestic and international archaeologists in Zhaojue County, Sichuan.The trackway was found on the same surface as a typical walking trackway of a sauropod. Both occurrences were the first to be reported in China, and the swimming tracks are the first well-preserved example of a Characichnos trackway from China, said Xing Lida, an archaeologist with the China University of Geosciences.Additionally, a theropod walking trackway and several ornithopod walking trackways were found in the same horizon, the archaeologists said.The ornithopod trackways show a parallel orientation, suggesting gregarious behavior among the trackmakers,
