Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
G. Gierlinski 1991Normally bipedal, but sometimes also quadrupedal. Pes with three functional digits. Hallux rarely imprinted. Pedal digits massive, short and highly divaricated, with imprints of two phalangeal pads on the third digit. The fourth pedal digit is longest. In the trackway, the pes is directed inward.
