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 .

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.
Ornithichnites is an ichnotaxon of mammal footprint that was originally classified as a dinosaur. [1] The name was originally used by Edward Hitchcock in 1836 as a higher group name rather than a specific ichnogenus, [1] and thus the name does not have priority over specific ichnogeneric names even if they were first identified as Ornithichnites.
When referring to trace fossils, the terms ichnogenus and ichnospecies parallel genus and species respectively. 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 ...
It has been suggested that one form of Protichnites, P. eremita Form 1, may have been produced by an ambulating pair of individuals, as in amplexus. In this form, the medial furrow is discontinuous and each section is set at an angle, such that the series of medial imprints have a shingled appearance, as might result if the female were ...
Rotundichnus is an ichnogenus of dinosaur footprint. The ichnospecies Rotundichnus muchehagensis dates to the early lower Cretaceous in central Laurasia (present-day Germany) and the largest footprint, that was 87 cm (2.85 ft) long, belongs to an individual that measured 21.5 meters (70.5 ft) and weighed 36.5 tonnes (40.2 short tons).
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.
