Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
V. Krapovickas and N. L. Nasif 2011Tetradactyl manus and pes impres- sions of sub-equal size with long and robust digits with strong elongated claws. Lateral digits (II-V) are shorter than central digits (III-IV). Elongated phalangeal–metapodial pad impressions are pres- ent. Trackways are narrow (footprint impressions near to the midline), and the pes are placed more lateral to the midline than the manus. Footprints are usually digitigrade although plantigrade foot- prints can occur.
