Anatrisauropus

Anatrisauropus is an ichnogenus of dinosaur footprint, possibly belonging to a saurischian.[2] It has only been discovered in Lesotho (Molteno Formation and Karoo Basin). Three ichnospecies are known: A. camisardi, A. ginsburgi[1] and A. hereroensis; all of which were named by Paul Ellenberger between 1965-72.
