[1] It has only been discovered in Massachusetts (Portland Formation, Newark Supergroup).Two ichnospecies are known (both are known from a single footprint): [2] [3] A. hamatus and A. pilulatus, both discovered around 1863 and named by Edward Hitchcock in 1865.

Otozoum ("giant animal") is an extinct ichnogenus (fossilized footprints and other markings) of sauropodomorph dinosaur from the Late Triassic-Middle Jurassic sandstones. Footprints were made by heavy, bipedal or, sometimes, quadrupedal animals with a short stride that walked on four toes directed forward. [ 1 ]
