Abstract: IchnospeciesGruipeda dominguensisde Valais & Melchor, 2008 Figs 2, 4 Materials. Numerous footprints studied in the field (more than 140 footprints) and one specimen sampled (IFMI -681). Revised diagnosis. Gruipeda preserved as tridactyl or tetradactyl footprints, commonly with a footprint length smaller than 50 mm, and a length / width ratio of 0.7–0.9. Bipedal trackways displaying a zero to inward rotation with relation to the midline, pace angulation ranging from 150 ° to 182 °, and a stride length from 2.5 to 5 times the footprint length. Footprints slightly asymmetrical, typically with the angle between digits II-III larger than those of digits III-IV, and a large divarication of digits II-IV in the range 90 ° – 135 °. Relative digit length is I <II <IV
