October 31, 2016:
Two relatively small tridactyl tracks from the Middle Jurassic Xintiangou Formation of northeastern Sichuan are assigned to cf. Anomoepus based on low length/width and anterior triangle ratios, and a relatively short step and inward rotation of the footprint axes. Anomoepus is typical of many Middle Jurassic dinosaur-dominated ichnofaunas from central and southern China and appears to be allied to the globally widespread Lower Jurassic tetrapod track biochron.
