Lateral-Sequence Walk Pattern
Doing the necessary checks and research on the patterns on the rock, the team could conclude that one of the creatures traveled in a way that a lateral-sequence walk pattern was created. The discovery was able to guide Rowland in giving a detailed interview with The Arizona Republic back in August 2020. He noted the walking pattern indicated the creature walked in a style where the left rear foot would proceed the front left leg followed by the right rear foot than the front right foot. All we can say is that they are a team of geniuses to be able to detect so much from so little details.

Similar To Tetrapods of Today
In today’s existence, living species of tetrapods such as cats and dogs do have a lateral-sequence walk pattern, especially when they walk slowly. Rowland made this revelation as he tried to develop supporting claims for his discovery on the rock. Rowland noted the Bright Angel Trail tacks showed evidence of this walking pattern from early days while these vertebrates existed. This information was relatively new as it was not readily available before such deep investigation was done. We may need to take a closer look at our pets as they go in slow motion.
