Alabama Paleontological Society Monograph no ATLAS OF UNION CHAPEL MINE VERTEBRATE TRACKWAYS AND SWIMMING TRACES HARTMUT HAUBOLD, 1 RONALD J. BUTA, 2 ANDREW K. RINDSBERG, 3 and DAVID C. KOPASKA-MERKEL 3 1 Institute of Geological Sciences, Martin-Luther-University, Von-Seckendorff-Platz 3, D Halle, Germany 2 Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Alabama, Box , Tuscaloosa, Alabama 35487, USA 3 Geological Survey of Alabama, Box , Tuscaloosa, Alabama , USA This atlas is a compilation of 135 photographs of vertebrate trackway specimens (including parts and counterparts) and 28 fossil fish swimming traces salvaged from the Union Chapel Mine (Steven C. Minkin Paleozoic Footprint Site) in Walker County, Alabama, USA. Each specimen has a centimeter scale and is identified with a Union Chapel Mine (UCM) number followed by the initials of the collector (Table 1). All interpretations of vertebrate trackways are those of Haubold (Haubold et al., 2005), while interpretations of invertebrate traces and circular impressions on the same slabs are those of Rindsberg (Rindsberg and Kopaska-Merkel, 2005; Rindsberg, 2005). Plates 1-19 show examples of the small amphibian traces Matthewichnus caudifer and Nanopus reidiae n.isp. Plates show examples of the large ichnospecies Attenosaurus subulensis. Plates show examples of the amniote ichnospecies Notalacerta missouriensis and Cincosaurus cobbi. Finally, plates show examples of the fish swimming trace Undichna. The atlas illustrates only a small fraction of the total number of slabs collected with vertebrate traces, which numbers over Tetrapod trackways and swimming traces from the Union Chapel Mine are discussed in detail by Haubold et al. (2005), Martin and Pyenson (2005), and Hunt et al. (2004, 2005). Undichna is discussed by Martin and Pyenson (2005). Table 2 provides an index of the illustrated specimens. TABLE 1.
