List Of Dinosaur Ichnogenera
This list of dinosaur ichnogenera is a comprehensive listing of all ichnogenera that have been attributed to dinosaurs, excluding class Aves (birds, both living and those known only from fossils) and purely vernacular terms. The list includes all commonly accepted ichnogenera, but also genera that are now considered invalid, doubtful (''nomen dubium''), or were not formally published (''nomen nudum''), as well as junior synonyms of more established names, and ichnogenera that are no longer attributed to dinosaurs. Scope and terminology There is no official, canonical list of dinosaur ichnogenera. An extensive list can be found in an appendix to Donald F. Glut's third supplement to his series of dinosaur encyclopedias (2003). The vast majority of citations are based on Glut's list; exceptions, such as more recent ichnotaxa, are noted. Synonymies are also after Glut. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O __NOTOC__ P Q R S T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ichnogenera
An ichnotaxon (plural ichnotaxa) is "a taxon based on the fossilized work of an organism", i.e. the non-human equivalent of an artifact. ''Ichnotaxa'' comes from the Greek ίχνος, ''ichnos'' meaning ''track'' and ταξις, ''taxis'' meaning ''ordering''.Definition o'ichno'at dictionary.com. Ichnotaxa are names used to identify and distinguish morphologically distinctive ichnofossils, more commonly known as trace fossils. They are assigned genus and species ranks by ichnologists, much like organisms in Linnaean taxonomy. These are known as ichnogenera and ichnospecies, respectively. "Ichnogenus" and "ichnospecies" are commonly abbreviated as "igen." and "isp.". The binomial names of ichnospecies and their genera are to be written in italics. Most researchers classify trace fossils only as far as the ichnogenus rank, based upon trace fossils that resemble each other in morphology but have subtle differences. Some authors have constructed detailed hierarchies up to ichnosupe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Corvipes
''Anomoepus'' is the name assigned to several fossil footprints first reported from Early Jurassic beds of the Connecticut River Valley, Massachusetts, USA in 1802. All four feet have left impressions. The smaller forefeet have five toes, whereas the larger hind feet have three toes. There is also an impression which might indicate where the creature rested. The footprints were discovered, amongst others, by a farm boy, Pliny Moody. E.B. Hitchcock, a clergyman, described the ''Anomoepus'' footprints and others as evidence of ancient birds. They have since been identified as belonging to a dinosaur, probably an ornithischian, as indicated by the number of toes and the absence of claws on the rear digits. Trackways assigned to ''Anomoepus'' from Western Australia, Poland and Czech Republic have also been described. ''Anomoepus'' is the name of the footprint, not of the dinosaur, the identity of which remains unknown. Ichnospecies *'' A. scambus'' Hitchcock, 1848 *'' A. ranivorus ...

Columbosauripus
''Grallator'' GRA-luh-tor"is an ichnogenus (form taxon based on footprints) which covers a common type of small, three-toed print made by a variety of bipedal theropod dinosaurs. ''Grallator''-type footprints have been found in formations dating from the Early Triassic through to the early Cretaceous periods. They are found in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, Brazil ( Sousa and Santa Maria Formations) and China,''Grallator'' at Fossilworks.org but are most abundant on the east coast of North America, especially the and |

Characichnos
''Characichnos'' (meaning "score trace") is an ichnogenus of possibly dinosaurian tetrapod footprint. It includes a single species, ''C. tridactylus'', known from prints found in the Middle Jurassic Saltwick Formation of Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Description ''Characichnos'' traces were created by a "punting" tetrapod, meaning that the animal was drifting or partially buoyant in a body of water, and touching or pushing off from the ground with the feet. Paleoecology Other fossils from the Saltwick Formation consist of stegosaurian footprints and a caudal vertebra belonging to an eusauropod, nicknamed " Alan".Weishampel, et al. (2004).

Ceratopsipes
''Ceratopsipes goldenensis'' is an ichnospecies of dinosaur footprint, described in 1995 from the Laramie Formation in Colorado.Lockley, M. G. and Hunt, A. P. (1995). Ceratopsid tracks and associated ichnofauna from the Laramie Formation (Upper Cretaceous: Maastrichtian) of Colorado. ''Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.'' 15(3): 592–614. It is represented by massive pes prints approaching in width. If undistorted, the tracks may represent an unusually large Ceratopsian dinosaur that could have potentially been as large as 12 metres (39.4 feet).

Carmelopodus
''Carmelopodus'' is an ichnogenus of dinosaur footprint. They are suggested to belong to basal ceratosaurs, due to their similarities with abelisaurid footprints. In 2016, a large footprint from the Early Jurassic of Morocco belonging to ''Carmelopodus'' sp. was estimated to belong to an long and heavy individual. Another footprint from the Middle Jurassic of the USA that belongs to ''Carmelopodus untermannorum,'' the type species, has a size of 4 cm (0.13 ft) and was made by an individual that was 68 cm (2.2 ft) in length and 1 kg (2.2 lbs).

Caririchnium
''Caririchnium'' is an ichnogenus of ornithopod dinosaur footprint, belonging to either derived iguanodonts or basal hadrosauroids. It includes the species ''Caririchnium lotus'' from Lower Cretaceous Jiaguan Formation and ''C''. ''protohadrosaurichnos'' from Upper Cretaceous Woodbine Formation.Yuong-Nam Lee, 1997, "Bird and dinosaur footprints in the Woodbine Formation (Cenomanian), Texas", ''Cretaceous Research'' (1997) 18: 849-864 Specimens are also known from the Lower Cretaceous El Castellar Formation and Camarillas Formations. The trackmacker was probably a large styracosternan related to ''Iguanodon''.
