Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
E. M. Bordy et al. 2020Trackway of a small obligate quadruped with tridactyl outwardly rotated pes and smaller manus with indistinct digit traces.

Pes trackway width, greater than manus trackway width due to manus registration medial to trackway midline: i.e., typically inside pes tracks.
