Early tetrapod trackways are rare, with few confirmed footprints from the first four-legged animals. Further research has not upheld initial claims linking some tracks to Devonian tetrapods. They may be natural formations or from different animals. Consider these cases. ...
Devonian tetrapod trackways from the Genoa River, Valentia Island, and Tarbat Ness provide the most important evidence for the global distribution of early tetrapods. These findings complement those at Zachełmie by demonstrating the conditions for tetrapods to reach land. ...
The discovery of Devonian tetrapod tracks is rare but significant. They push the appearance of tetrapods further back in time. Of the four confirmed finds in Laurussia and Gondwana, the footprints from Zachełmie (Poland) are the earliest. ...
The discovery of very early tetrapod tracks disrupts previously established hypotheses and forces a reconsideration of the evolutionary timeline. These tracks are older than the fossil remains of the presumed ancestors of tetrapods—elpistostegids. ...
