Avipeda is a Mesozoic to Cenozoic bird track ichnogenus.[1] The morphogenus is defined by having three forward facing toes without inter-digit webbing. Additionally the angles between the forward toes does not exceed 95°, while the digits are all of similar length. Avipeda is similar to the ichnogenus Aquatilavipes, but has shorter and thicker toe prints.[2]
