Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. G. Lockley et al. 2012Medium sized sub-symmetric functionally tridactyl track with wide digit divarication and robust digit traces that are wider proximally than distally. Pad traces may be well defined. Trackway narrow with a relatively long step and little inward rotation. Both the robust width of the proximal digit traces and the long step with little inward rotation distinguishes Tatarornipes from other avian ichnotaxa.
