The shales, siltstones, coal and tuffs were deposited in a lacustrine environment.

[2] These were initially described as Eubrontes, a type of predatory dinosaur (theropod) footprint.

Later, these footprints were considered as evidence for the world's largest Triassic theropod, with legs towering over 2 metres tall.

[3] A 3D evaluation of the fossil indicated the footprint length was much smaller than previously reported (34 cm rather than 46 cm long) and its shape was characteristic of the trace fossil genus (ichnogenus) Evazoum.

[4] The existing hypothesis is that Evazoum were made by prosauropods, ancestral forms of long-necked sauropod dinosaurs.
