Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| J. Nouri et al. 2011 | Digitigrade, mesaxonic, tetradactyl (I, II, III, IV) and large theropod footprint of a bipedal dinosaur. All the digits have acuminated ends. Digit I (hallux) has two pads. The hallux is directed proximolaterally or almost perpendicularly to the axis of the foot. The first digital pad of digit I has the proximal area at the same level of the lateral end of digit IV. Digit I (hallux) is almost as long as digit II. Digit III is the longest. Digit II is the widest. There are no metatarsal impressions. Footprint rotation is high. The trackway is very narrow. Dimensions of the holotype are: total footprint length 45 cm (whitout hallux 36 cm); width 30 cm; digits I-II-III-IV length 18-22-26-23 cm; interdigital angles I^II^III^IV 44°-25°-29°. |
