Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
Z. T. Gomes et al. 2024Narrow sauropod trackway (sensu Romano et al. 2007; PTR = 54%) characterised by little or no interpes distance. Pes is rounded, slightly rotated outward (laterally), longer than wide, with the medial margin straighter than the lateral, possessing five digits anteriorly positioned. Pes ‘heel’ is rounded. Heteropody is low (HI = 1.9). Manus is semicircular (kidney-shaped) and rotated outward/laterally (between 30° and 40°), located farther away from the midline than the pes, generally within ETW. Pes print usually does not overlap manus print. Manus does not have evident pollex claw print (pollex claw either absent or extremely reduced) but displays five subtle callosities. Manus callosities III, IV and V face laterally, callosity III is the more pronounced.
