| G. Leonardi 1984 | pista quadrupede, caratterizzata dalla notevole differenza tra le grande orme posteriori e le piccole anteriori.
Angolo del passo elevto, pista notevolmente stretta, larghezza interna con valori negativi. Orme anteriori molto piccole, di contorno ellittico con asse maggiore quasi anteroposteriore. Orme posteriori grandi, massiccie, tridattile; presenza di un cuscinetto plantare, separato dalle dita da pieghe della pelle. Dita tozze e grosse con unghie piccole e arrotondate. | |
| I. Díaz-Martínez et al. 2015 | Pes tracks belonging to Iguanodontipodidae, with a large heel impression that is rounded, centred and wide (wider than the width of the proximal part of the digit III impression); short, wide digit impressions. |
