Fossil vertebrates have been known from the Miocene of east Texas for over 100 years (Anonymous 1860; Wilson 1956). Most of that early work focused on the larger mammalian component of the fauna. More recently, researchers have examined the smaller mammals and non-mammalian taxa of the Miocene fauna from east Texas and Louisiana (Wilson 1956; Albright 1994; 1996; 1998; Schiebout & Ting 1998; Williams & Schiebout 2003). At present, the majority of the Miocene vertebrate fossil record in east Texas is composed of fragmentary teeth and bones. This paper reports what appears to be the first ichnological record of vertebrate activity in the Miocene in east Texas.
