Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| T. Ptaszynski 2000 | Rhynchosauroides with typical pes digit length relations: IV>III>II>!; pes length up to 5 cm. Manus width of pace equals approximately one half of that of pes; pes pace angulation ranges between 80 and 113° (94° on average). In tracks, pes diverge from the midline from about 16 (average value of all six referred tracks) to 25°. Manus imprints show an increase in length from digit I to IV and are inclined to the midline at 6° on average. Digits I-IV diverge of about 40° on average; the divarication of digits I-V is about 82°. |
