Dromaeosauripus
Dromaeosauripus is an ichnogenus that has been attributed to dinosaurs.[1] Dromaeosauripus footprints have been found at Dinosaur Ridge in the United States, Bito Island Tracksite in South Korea's Bito Island, and the Hekou Group in China.[2] Dromaeosauripus footprints were probably made by dromaeosaurs.

Dromaeosauripus yongjingensis
In 2012, D. yongjingensis was described from tracks in the Hekou Group.[2] D. yongjingensis shows prominent toe and heel pads. Heel pads are apparently absent in other Dromaeosauripus, probably due to behavior, preservation, and/or substrate consistency.
gollark: Programming concepts are mostly the same across languages, it might just be somewhat more annoying to write.
gollark: Anyway, if someone wants I can probably make an adapter to call some other process so you can write JS or whatever. It will just be slow and unpleasant.
gollark: That was needless and unhelpful.
gollark: ...
gollark: Besides, scheme would allow coolness like prisoner's-dilemma-with-visible-source at some point.
