''Brasilichnium'' is the name of fossilised
mammaliamorph footprints dating from the
Jurassic and
Cretaceous. They have been identified from Brazil and western North America.
''Brasilichnium'' is the name of the footprints, identified by their shape, and not of the
genus or genera that made them, which is as yet unknown but was likely a mammaliamorph with a semi-erect leg posture. Mammaliamorphs were ancestors of modern
mammals.
