|---|---|---|
| M. G. Lockley et al. 2014 | Large, slender-toed, functionally tridactyl theropod footprints about as wide as long. Digits are parallel-sided with abrupt distally tapering claw impressions lacking well-defined digital pads. Hypex between digits II and III is much deeper (more posterior) than between digits III and IV. Digit divarication is wide, averaging 90 degrees. Small, posteromedial hallux is present, in some of the more deeply impressed tracks. Metatarsal impression is long and slender. Trackway is narrow. |
