Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. G. Lockley et al. 2003Tetradactyl track with slender toe impressions, and prominent hallux trace extended medially to postero-medially. Formula for digital pad impressions is 2,2,3,?4 corresponding to digits I–IV, respectively. Metapodial impressions subtriangular and slightly asymmetric with anterior apex converging with proximal portion of digit three. Digit IV connected to metapodial proximally, whereas digit II connects distally. Trackway narrow with relatively short step.
