Jialingpus

Dinosaur footprint From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jialingpus is an ichnogenus of dinosaur, likely a theropod.[1] Its footprints have been found in the Feitianshan Formation, a low-energy lake formation. Holotype is SCFP-24, which was found in Late Jurassic (Oxfordian)-aged Yuechi tracksite at Huanglong, China.[2] These footprints were found within the vicinity of those of the smaller theropod Minisauripus, meaning that Jialingpus likely hunted Minisauripus.[3]
