Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
K. S. Kim et al. 2019Neosauroides innovatus ichnosp. nov., differs from con-ichnogeneric N. koreaensis in exhibiting strong heteropody and a more elongate manus registered much closer to the trackway midline. Pes digit traces I and V are also known in N. innovatus ichnosp. nov., but not in N. koreaenisis. N. innovatus differs markedly from Sauripes hadongensis which has a very narrow pes-dominated trackway with narrow pes tracks and incompletely known manus, lacking adequate description.
