Brutalichnus is an ichnogenus. [1] A case study from the Miocene of the Czech Republic found that Brutalichnus and two other ichnogenera have evidence of biting and gnawing traces on reptilian and mammalian bones. [2] Brutalichnus contains one ichnospecies, Brutalichnusbrutalis. [2] The ichnogenera Machichnus and Nihilichnus were described in the same paper. [2]

Wisshak, Knaust & Bertling (2019) consider Brutalichnus to be a nomen dubium . [3]
