초록

군산 산북동 공룡과 익룡발자국 화석산지는 국내 최대의 전기 백악기 공룡발자국 화석지이며, 모든 발자국은 대형 조각류와 수각류 공룡들이 전기 백악기에 한반도에 서식하였음을 지시하는 중요한 증거이다. 산북동 화석산지는 2021년 보호각 설치 이전까지 야외 환경에서 방수포로 보호되어 있었다. 이로 인해 화석의 기반암에는 전단력, 하중 감소, 온습도변화, 산성비, 염분 및 미생물 등이 복합적으로 작용하여 발자국의 손상이 가중되었다. 이 연구에서는 발자국 화석 중 형태 및 보행렬 확인이 가능한 12개 보행렬의 159개 발자국을 대상으로 각각의 손상정도를 평가하고 6개의 손상유형으로 분류하였다. 화석산지 전체 표면에 대한 초음파 물성평가 결과, 대부분 완전풍화단계(CW)를 보였다. 또한 연구대상 화석산지에는 다양한 풍화양상이 나타나 층준별 표면의 오염원을 분석한 결과, 화석산지의 신선부와 오염물은 지점별로 양상은 상이하나 조성은 거의 유사하였다. 이를 바탕으로 공룡 및 익룡발자국 화석산지의 효율적인 보존관리체계를 구축하였으며 각 발자국의 보존처리 유형을 제안하였다.

The tracksite of dinosaurs and pterosaurs in Sanbuk-dong of Gunsan is the largest early Cretaceous dinosaur footprint fossil site in Korea, and all the footprints are important evidence indicating that large ornithopod and theropod dinosaurs inhabited the Korean peninsula during the early Cretaceous. The Sanbuk-dong site was covered with waterproof sheet in an outdoor environment until the installation of a protective enclosure in 2021. As a result, various factors such as shear force, load reduction, temperature and humidity fluctuations, acid rain, salinity and microorganisms have complexly interacted in the substrate of fossils, exacerbating the damage to footprints. For 159 footprints in 12 trackways among the footprints found in the site, the damage types were classified in detail and the level of each damage was assessed. The damages were classified into 6 types through the classification of deterioration degree of individual footprints. As a result of ultrasonic physical property evaluation on the surface of the fossil site, most of these footprints are in the completely weathered (CW) stage. Furthermore, various weathering patterns were observed in the study area, and surface contaminants were analyzed along the stratigraphy. Although the patterns of freshness and contaminants varied at different points within the fossil site, the chemical compositions were similar. Based on the results, an efficient conservation management system for dinosaur footprint fossils was established, and a conservation treatment type for each footprint was proposed.
