Tom, GeoRef lists quite a few references on crocodilian coprolites, but I suppose you have those already. Burrowing crocodiles are more difficult to study than their scat, evidently, and there are not so many papers on this subject. The ongoing but very incomplete Bibliographia Ichnologica, now standing at about 24,000 references, contains only three references on crocodilian burrowing: Coombs, W.P., Jr. 1989. Modern analogs for dinosaur nesting and parental behavior. In Farlow, J.O. (ed.), Paleobiology of the dinosaurs. Geological Society of America, Special Paper, 238: 21-53. Gomani, E.M. 1997. A crocodyliform from the Early Cretaceous dinosaur beds, northern Malawi. Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 17(2): 280-294. Pooley, A.C. 1969. The burrowing behavior of crocodiles. Lammergeyer, 10: 60-63. If you could send a copy of your bibliography of crocodilian traces and trace fossils when you're ready, I'd be happy to include them in the Bibliographia. Good luck on your project. Don't let the crocs bite. Cheers, Andrew Andrew K. Rindsberg Geological Survey of Alabama P.O. Box 869999 Tuscaloosa, AL 35486-6999 USA
