Tetrapodosaurus is an ichnogenus of dinosaur footprint found in Canada and the United States (Patuxent Formation), likely representing the tracks of a non-ankylosaurid ankylosaur. [1]
Tetrapodosaurus was first identified by Charles Mortram Sternberg in 1932 along the Peace River, [2] and it is characterized by tetradactyl (four-toed) pes prints which were created by non-ankylosaurid ankylosaurs such as 'nodosaurids' and similar taxa. [1]
