Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
H. Klein and S. G. Lucas 2021Narrow trackways of a quadruped with a pace angulation of ~165° and relatively strong outward rotation of the pentadactyl pes and manus imprints (20°-30° on average). Pedal digits II and III are longest, and digit IV is mostly as long as digit I and distinctly divergent from digit III. Basal pad of digit V close behind metatarsophalangeal area I–IV, and, in larger forms, progressively amalgamated with these. Distal phalangeal segment of digit V only weakly loaded. Very small manus-ratio of manus:pes area = 1:4.5-6.8. Digit III in the manus is longest.
