Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. S. Lull 1904Large bipedal forms, more or less rounded claws, digits broad with distinct phalangeal pads. Foot functionally, possibly structurally tridactyl as the hallux claw never impresses. No caudal trace.
R. S. Lull 1915Large bipedal forms; claws acuminate to blunted; digits broad with distinct phalangeal pads. Foot functionally tridactyl as hallux claw never impresses. Caudal trace absent. Distinguished from Anchisauripus by the generally larger size and broad clumsy feet, and the fact that the claws are generally blunted, though this character is variable within the same species or even upon the same track (see figs. 50, 52). The apparent total absence (with one possible exception) o a hallux impression distinguishes Eubrontes both from Anchisauripus and Gigandipus.
