The ichnogenus Thalassinoides: burrow fossil produced by crustaceans from the Middle Jurassic, Makhtesh Qatan, 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 most promising cases of phylogenetic classification are those in which similar trace fossils show details complex enough to deduce the makers, such as bryozoan borings, large trilobite trace fossils such as Cruziana, and vertebrate footprints. However, most trace fossils lack sufficiently complex details to allow such classification.
In 2016 Molina-Perez and Larramendi based on the 45 cm (1.48 ft) long footprint estimated the size of the animal at 8.4 meters (27.5 ft) and 600 kg (1.323 lbs). [8] Another 60.5 cm (1.98 ft) long footprint belongs to an 8.1 meter (26.6 ft), 1.1 tonne (2.425 lbs) individual, that was very similar to Sinosaurus triassicus .
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 ...
The dinosaur trackmaker of the Farlowichnus footprints may have reached lengths of up to 3–3.5 metres (9.8–11.5 ft), as indicated by the larger size of one of the paratype specimens. The holotype trackmaker was smaller, at about 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) long, weighing around 12–15 kilograms (26–33 lb).
Parabrontopodus is an ichnogenus of dinosaur footprint, that was initially described by Lockley et al. in 1994, [1] and was assigned to Sauropoda by Lockley in 2002 and in 2004 by Niedzwiedzki and Pienkowski. Various species through their footprints that are characterized by the association of two impressions left by hand and foot.
There have been disagreements about whether the North American D. agilis represents a separate ichnospecies. [5] More recently, based on the fact that there is no satisfactory anatomical diagnosis distinguishing various ichnospecies of Dromopus, only the type ichnospecies D. lacertoides has been agreed to be valid. [1] [6]
The confusing history of dinosaur footprints means many kinds of theropod tracks have been put into the Megalosauripus ichnogenus, [4] even though they were an entirely different ichnospecies. This makes it hard to piece together what exactly is Megalosauripus , and what is not.
