Hyloidichnus is a reptile ichnogenus commonly found in assemblages of ichnofossils dating to the Permian^[1] to Triassic^[2] in North America,^[1] Africa,^[2]^[3] South America,^[4] and Europe.^[5]

The animal that created the tracks was most likely from the subfamily Moradisaurinae, a group of lizard-like reptiles.^[6]
