<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="anticheiropus-pilulatus"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Anticheiropus pilulatus is a dinosaur ichnospecies (manus tracks only) from the Early Jurassic of Connecticut, United States, attributed to a small quadrupedal dinosaur leaving rounded hand impressions. Found in redbeds of the Hartford Basin, these tracks illustrate the diversity of Early Jurassic dinosaur locomotor patterns and likely represent a prosauropod or ornithischian trackmaker.
Time Period
Anticheiropus pilulatus lived during the Jurassic Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 201.4 to 174.7 million years ago.
After the Triassic-Jurassic extinction, dinosaurs rapidly diversified and became the dominant land vertebrates. Early sauropods and theropods began to evolve larger body sizes.
