Limiavipes curriei
Taxonomy
Aquatilavipes curriei was named by McCrea and Sarjeant (2001). Its type specimen is RTMP 98.89.11, cast of left pes, a footprint, and it is a trace fossil. Its type locality is W3 Main tracksite, 12 Mine South, which is in an Albian fluvial-deltaic sandstone/siltstone in the Gates Formation of Canada.
It was recombined as Limiavipes curriei by McCrea et al. (2014), Xing et al. (2015), Currie and Koppelhus (2015), Buckley et al. (2016) and Imai et al. (2018).

Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| Y. Azuma et al. 2002 | A species of Aquatilavipes of moderately large size, the thickness of the digits being around 10% of their length. They terminate in narrow, sharp claws, those of digits II and IV inclined slightly inward toward digit III. Total interdigital span varies between 120° and 135° according to gait and substrate hardness, the angle between digits II and II being consistently larger than between digits III and IV. Digital pads often discernible—three on digit III, two on digits II and IV. The center of each digit impression may show a groove parallel to the axis of the digit, continuous or discontinunous; this may not be evident in shallower imprints.
The angle of the footprints is always slightly inward toward the center of the trackway; the trackway is quite broad and the pace, though variable, consistently short. | |
