Ichniotherium (meaning "marking creature") is an ichnogenus of tetrapod footprints from between the Late Carboniferous period to the Early Permian period attributed to diadectomorph track-makers. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] These footprints are commonly found in Europe , and have also been identified in North America and Morocco .
Jialingpus is an ichnogenus of dinosaur, likely a theropod. [1] Its footprints have been found in the Feitianshan Formation, a low-energy lake formation. Holotype is SCFP-24, which was found in Late Jurassic ()-aged Yuechi tracksite at Huanglong, China. [2]
The ichnogenus Thalassinoides: burrow fossil produced by crustaceans from the Middle Jurassic, HaMakhtesh HaKatan, southern Israel. An ichnotaxon (plural ichnotaxa) is "a taxon based on the fossilized work of an organism", i.e. the non-human equivalent of an artifact.
The abundance of such small footprints might suggest that the trackmaker of Minisauripus was a small non-avian theropod, not a juvenile of a larger taxon. [4] The Minisauripus tracks show three distinct toes, unlike the tracks of similar-sized small dromaeosaurids such as Dromaeosauriformipes , which are didactyl, with the recurved claw on the ...
Dromopus lacertoides tracks are characterized by five-fingered hand and foot imprints up to 6 centimetres (2.4 in) long, about a third longer than they are wide, with a short palm and long, slender, tapered digits. The length of the digits increases from the first to the fourth, with the fifth having the same length as the second.
The ichnospecies is named in honor of Jerry MacDonald, the discoverer and local collector of the ichnofauna of the Robledo Mountains. The prints had a width of 25 mm (1 in) and consisted of symmetrical series of three to four pairs of impressions, large paddle-shaped outer tracks of 12 mm (0.5 in) in length and two or three internal linear ...
Ichnofauna is the diversity of fauna based on the ichnological (tracks and footprints) evidences. This term is often used by vertebrate paleontologists. [1] [2] Ichnofauna often uses parataxonomical names for tracks such as Deltapodus, Eubrontes, or Cruziana. Ichnofauna does not give a true content of the fauna assemblage, because of bias of ...
Argoides is an ichnogenus of dinosaur footprint, originally named as an ichnospecies of Ornithichnites, [1] [2] left by what was possibly an ornithopod, although due to the age of the tracks (some of which predate the oldest known ornithopod fossils), they were probably instead made by theropods. [3] A 2.8 cm long footprint from the lower ...
