September 30, 2016:
Photographs, newspaper reports and other unpublished documentation indicate the presence of hitherto undocumented tridactyl tracks from the Lower Jurassic Fengjiahe Formation at Dianwen Village in Yunnan Province China. Our analyses of these records allow us to assign some of the better preserved tracks to Anomoepus isp. indet. This report adds to the growing number of reports of ichnogenus Anomoepus from the Lower and Middle Jurassic rocks of southern China. These occurrences indicate that small ornithischian dinosaurs were a significant component of these Early and Middle Jurassic faunas.
