User:LittleLazyLass/List of large ornithopod ichnotaxa

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

This list of large ornithopod ichnotaxa is a listing of

taxa based on ichnites, or fossilized footprints - pertaining to dinosaurs of the group Ornithopoda
.

Large ornithopod tracks have been studied since their first discovery in 1846, around the time the earliest vertebrate ichnology began to be studied. For a long time, these were simply referred to as "

Charles M. Sternberg
's ichnogenera Amblydactylus and Gypsichnites in 1932. Over time, over fourty large ornithopod ichnospecies were coined, and many of these received little attention beyond their initial descriptions. Various studies proposed that the vast majority of these were invalid, leaving only a handful of valid taxa, and comprehensive reviews were eventually published on the issue.

First discoveries

Questioning of validity

Comprehensive reviews

A

Akmechetosauropus

Akmechetosauropus makhkamovi was described in 1993 based on a poorly preserved track from the Babtpag II site of the

Tadjikistan, dating to the Albian.[9] Due to its imprecise diagnosis and the quality of the associated figure, Díaz-Martínez et al. considered it to be a nomen dubium. They found the original description paper to be the only one to mention it.[10]

B

Batagosauropus

Babatagosauropus bulini was described in 1993 based on a poorly preserved track from the Babtpag I site of the

Tadjikistan, dating to the Albian.[9] Due to its poor diagnosis and the quality of the associated figure, Díaz-Martínez et al. considered it to be a nomen dubium. They found the original description paper to be the only one to mention it.[10]

Bonaparteichnium

Bonaparteichnium tali was named by

nomen vanum.[12] Díaz-Martínez and colleagues considered it a nomen dubium as opposed to referring the specimen to Limayichnus, as they also considered that taxon dubious.[10] They noted that Bonaparteichnium can also be considered a taphotaxon, a term proposed by Spencer G. Lucas to refer to invalid taxa who were thought distinct due to taphonomic distortions.[10][13]
