Dromaeosauripus
Dromaeosauripus is an ichnogenus that has been attributed to dinosaurs.[1] Dromaeosauripus footprints have been found at Dinosaur Ridge in the United States, Bito Island Tracksite in South Korea's Bito Island, and the Hekou Group in China.[2] Dromaeosauripus footprints were probably made by dromaeosaurs.
Dromaeosauripus yongjingensis
In 2012, D. yongjingensis was described from tracks in the Hekou Group.[2] D. yongjingensis shows prominent toe and heel pads. Heel pads are apparently absent in other Dromaeosauripus, probably due to behavior, preservation, and/or substrate consistency.
