Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. T. McCrea and W. A. S. Sarjeant 2001 | Tridactyl footprints of small to large size, showing three digits united proximally, most often in a metatarsal pad ("heel"); webbing and hallux lacking. Digits moderately thick to thick, their maximum width exceeding 15% of their length: digit III is more than 25% longer than the lateral digits. Total interdigital span greater than 95° and often exceeds 120°. Length of digits II and III may be similar, but digit IV is frequently somewhat larger. All digits clawed, the claw frequently showing inward flexure in relation to the digit axis. Digital pad impressions are visible on better-preserved molds or casts—three or four on digit III, two on digits II and IV. |
