Wildeichnus navesi

† Wildeichnus navesi is a Middle Jurassic ichnospecies from Argentina, one of the older records of the Wildeichnus ichnogenus. These small tridactyl tracks contribute to understanding the diversity of small dinosaurs in Jurassic South America.

Diet & Feeding

Carnivore

Wildeichnus navesi was a meat-eating predator. Carnivorous dinosaurs were active hunters or scavengers, equipped with sharp teeth and claws for catching and consuming prey. They occupied the top of the food chain in their ecosystems.

Time Period

Jurassic Middle Mesozoic Era

Wildeichnus navesi lived during the Jurassic Middle period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 174.7 to 161.5 million years ago.

Dinosaur diversity continued to increase, with the evolution of large sauropods and diverse theropods. Stegosaurs first appeared, and the supercontinent Pangaea was breaking apart.
