You can learn many things by studying the fossilized footprints of dinosaurs. We can tell the stride length and therefor the speed of a dinosaur while it walks. We can also tell whether that type of dinosaur lived in groups or not by whether all of the footprints were made by an individual or many individuals. One example of this are tracks made by Acrocanthosaurus and sauropods. These tracks reveal that there was a pack of Acrocanthosaurus that were stalking the sauropods. By looking at fossil footprints, we know that sauropods had herds with juveniles and adults, but the very young dinosaurs were not included in the adult herd.
Although pterosaurs aren't dinosaurs, it is interesting to note that nobody knew whether they walked on two legs or as a quadruped. When tracks were found, it was proven that they walked as a quadruped.
