For the first time in the Magaña Fm. (Tithonian-Berriasian), Tera Group (Cameros Basin, Iberian Range, Spain) it has been found tracks of stegosaurids. The new site (San Felices, Soria) has provided a trackway with foot- and hand-prints whose shape and morphometric characteristics permit to classify them as Deltapodus isp. The coexistence in facies of the transit Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous, in the Iberian Peninsula, of this ichnogenus tracks and bones of stegosaurids, permit to establish a relationship between Deltapodus tracks on this site and thyreophorans, probably belonging to the genus Dacentrurus or related taxon.
