Fig. 6 in Crouching theropod and Navahopus sauropodomorph tracks from the Early Jurassic Navajo Sandstone of USA
Fig. 6. The ichnofamily Navahopodidae, characterized by the tridactyl manus impression with the prominent inward directed pollex trace. A. Navahopus falcipollex Baird, 1980, the holotype MNA P3.339 from the collection of the Museum of Northern Arizona, Flagstaff. B. Baird's (1980) interpretation of Navahopus falcipollex as a sauropodomorph trackway, with an enlarged medially directed pollex claw. C. New interpretative drawing of Navahopus falcipollex, with less pronounced pollex impressions, and suggested mammal affinities. From Lockley and Hunt (1995). D. Sketch of Navahopus coyoteensis isp. nov. manus and pes couplets from left and right side of the trackway. In the pes prints, digits III and IV are separated by a deep hypex, recognizable in all well−preserved tracks in the trackway. All manus prints in the new trackway show consistent impressions of a large, medially directed pollex claw, supporting the original interpretation of Baird (1980), that Navahopus was made by a sauropodomorph dinosaur. Compare with Fig. 7. E. New interpretation of Tetrasauropus unguiferus Ellenberger, 1972 from the Lower Stormberg assemblage of Southern Africa (Porchetti and Nicosa 2007).
