Here, we report the discovery of several late Carnian (Tuvalian) footprints preserved both as tracks and natural casts. The best preserved manus-pes couple is assigned to Brachychirotherium eyermani (Baird, 1957), previously known from some incomplete manus-pes impressions. A quadrupedal crocodile-like archosaur showing possible affinities with the Sphenosuchidae is here suggested as a putative track maker.

Abstract
Here, we report the discovery of several late Carnian (Tuvalian) footprints preserved both as tracks and natural casts. The best preserved manus-pes couple is assigned to Brachychirotherium eyermani (Baird, 1957), previously known from some incomplete manus-pes impressions. A quadrupedal crocodile-like archosaur showing possible affinities with the Sphenosuchidae is here suggested as a putative track maker.File in questo prodotto:
