“…In the present study: i) no vertical differences within a single bin have been considered even though some are well known; and, ii) only species-level determinations have been considered except where a genus or a higher-level taxon is represented by an undetermined species only (e.g., Procolophonichnium isp. ), or in the case of Rhynchosauroides isp.1 and Rhynchosauroides isp.2 of Valentini et al (2007) which underwent a formal revision and, although not yet renamed, can be considered as distinct ichnospecies.…”

“…The Rhynchosauroides ichnogenus has been reported in Europe, North America and South America. The oldest tracks are Late Permian in age and belong to the Val Gardena Sandstone in Northern Italy (Valentini et al, 2007) but in fact Rhynchosauroides is almost exclusively Triassic, where it is abundant and very common. The most recent known occurrence of Rhynchosauroides belongs to basal Jurassic deposits from the North American Newark Supergroup (Olsen and Rainforth, 2003); Szajna and Hartline, 2003;Rainforth, 2002;Hunt and Lucas, 2007).…”

“…It has to be pointed out, however, that the ichnogenus Rhyncosauroides shows a wide chronological occurrence which extends for most of the Permian and Mesozoic (Valentini et al, 2007). It is therefore very likely that the several ichnospecies attributed to Rhynchosauroides could really have been made by very different trackmakers.…”

This report describes an isolated footprint preserved as a natural cast (convex hyporelief) from the Lastres Fm. (Late Jurassic) of northern Spain. The track consists of a small isolated pentadactyl ectaxonic right manus footprint. It is very asymmetric, plantigrade, with digits and palm deeply marked on the substrate. Digit IV is the longest, digits II and I are nearly equal in length and only a little shorter than III and IV. The footprint morphology is typical of a lizard -like or "lacertoid" track .The general outline of the footprint, the width to length ratio approximately equal to 1, the marked plantigrady and the substantial similarity in length of digits IV-I are coherent with a Rhynchosauroidea manual print. The global record of Rhynchosauroides ichnogenus shows that this specimen represents the latest occurrence of the ichnogenus. The most probable trackmaker was possibly a rhyncocephalian reptile.Keywords: Upper Jurassic, "Lacertilian" tracks, Rhynchosauroides, Asturias, Spain ResumenSe describe una huella de mano aislada, preservada como contramolde natural (hiporrelieve convexo) de la Formación Lastres (Jurásico Superior) del N de España.

The Torre del Porticciolo palaeontological locality (Alghero, north‐west Sardinia, Italy) is important for having provided the skeletal remains of the first Permian basal synapsid from Italy, Alierasaurus ronchii, the largest late early Permian to early middle Permian non‐therapsid synapsid known to date. Recently, other skeletal remains preliminarily attributed to a carnivorous non‐therapsid synapsid were described from a second site, approximately from the same stratigraphic level within the Cala del Vino Fm. During the excavation of this second site, tetrapod tracks were found near Cala Viola, about 1 km from the first two sites. The new find represents the first ichnological record from the Permian of Sardinia. The ichnological analysis allowed the recognition of tetrapods presently not recognized, just on the base of skeletal remains. This new evidence sheds more light on the faunal diversity within the Cala del Vino Fm., which is one of the few examples in the Permian of Europe of a combined ichno‐ and body‐fossil record. The tracks have been referred to as Merifontichnus, an ichnotaxon established from the uppermost portion of the Permian succession of the Lodève Basin in southern France. The new material is the first reliable occurrence of this ichnotaxon from Italy and would represent, to date, the oldest occurrence of the ichnogenus.
