Four-toed theropod footprints and a paleomagnetic age from the Whetstone Falls Member of the Harebell Formation (Upper Cretaceous: Maastrichtian), northwestern Wyoming: a correction
Abstract
It has been brought to my attention by Mrs Joan Thorne of the Zoological Record that the ichnogenusExallopus, proposed by Harriset al.(1996) for new four-toed theropod footprints, is preoccupied by the polychaeteExallopusJumars 1974 (Fauchauld, 1977). To avoid homonymy, I therefore propose the replacementSaurexallopus(meaning 'reptile different foot') for the ichnogenus, type speciesSaurexallopus lovei,as diagnosed in Harriset al.(1996, pp. 390-393).
