Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| L. Xing et al. 2016 | Trackway of large quadruped with elongate, tetradactyl, outwardly rotated pes with length of digit III> IV = II > I and a sole area divided by a transverse crease. Manus pentadactyl to semi-circular and strongly rotated outward. Differs from other sauropodomorph tracks by the presence of four nearly equidimensional, elongate pes digit traces oriented subparallel to the pes axis and a sub-circular manus with five discrete blunt digit traces. Combines some features of otozoid tracks with those of sauropod tracks such as Brontopodus |
