  2. Ichnotaxon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichnotaxon

    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.

  3. Trace fossil classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_fossil_classification

    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.

  4. Eubrontes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eubrontes

    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 .

  5. Parabrontopodus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabrontopodus

    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.

  6. Ichnofauna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichnofauna

    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 ...

  7. Megalosauripus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalosauripus

    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.

  8. Diplocraterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplocraterion

    Diplocraterion is an ichnogenus describing vertical U-shaped burrows having a spreite (weblike construction) between the two limbs of the U. [1] [2] The spreite of an individual Diplocraterion trace can be either protrusive (between the paired tubes) or retrusive (below the paired tubes). [3] Some ichnospecies have both types (e.g ...

  9. Dromopus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dromopus

    The hand and foot imprints are not particularly distinct. [7] D. didactylus tracks are based on similar tracks, but where the imprints of all but two digits are faint. [2] Dromopus tracks have been ascribed to lizard-like reptiles, including the diapsid Araeoscelidia and the parareptilian Bolosauridae. [1] [8] [9] Paleontology portal
