Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. M. Casamiquela 1964 | Impresiones correspondientes a un dinosaurio bípedo, de pequeña talla, funcionalmente tridáctilo. Ángulo de paso cercano al llano. Digitigrado. Los tres dedos de tamaño diferente, escasamente los laterales entre sí y mucho mayor el central. Ángulo interdigital subigual. Los laterales terminalmente romos y acuminado el central; aquéllos situados sobre un plano ligeramente inferior al de las porciones proximal y mesial de éste. | |
| S. de Valais 2011 | Bipedal trackways composed of asymmetric, functionally tridactyl tracks with a length/width ratio of about 1.5. Hallux is rarely impressed; when preserved, it is medially directed. Divarication angles between II and IV digit imprints are greater than 50°. The trackways have high pace angulation. |
