Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
S. Zhen et al. 1989Bipedal, semi-plantigrade tracks with occasional tail trace. Relative lengths of pes and pace are approximately 1:3.6. Pes tetradactyl with elongated metatarsal segment, generally touching the ground with three clawed toes (II, III, IV). Hallux occasionally present, rotating sideways. Pad formula is 2-2-3-3. The metatarso-phalangeal pad of III is the longest of the three pads. The angles between digits are: I-40°/50°-II; II-20°/24°-III; III-24°/28°-IV. Claw impressions are weak. The length of the type specimen, a trace of the left pes, is 20.7 cm, anf the distance between the tips of the lateral digits is 11.1 cm. There is also a 13.0 cm trace of a metatarsal behind the footprint.
