Chimaerichnus
Chimaerichnus was a meat-eating dinosaur that left its footprints in mud over 200 million years ago. We don't have its bones, only its tracks, so scientists call it a 'form taxon' based on those footprints.21

Chimaerichnus was named by Edward Hitchcock in 1871, but it is based only on footprints, not on bones.2
The name Chimaerichnus means 'chimera footprint', referring to the strange-looking tracks.2
Chimaerichnus lived during the Norian age, about 227 to 205 million years ago, in the Late Triassic period.2
Scientists think Chimaerichnus was a ground-dwelling dinosaur that walked on land.1
The footprints of Chimaerichnus were found in New Jersey, USA.1
Chimaerichnus is considered a 'form taxon', which means it is classified based on its footprint shape, not on body fossils.1
