They have been identified from France, Poland, Slovakia,[2] Czech Republic,[3] Italy, Spain, Sweden, Australia (Queensland), US,[4] India,[5] China[1] and Brazil (South).
[6] Eubrontes is the name of the footprints, identified by their shape, and not of the genus or genera that made them, which is as yet unknown but is presumed to be similar to Coelophysis or Dilophosaurus.
They, among other footprints, were the first known non-avian dinosaur tracks to be discovered in North America, though they were initially thought to have been made by large birds.
[9] In early 1970s, a fiberglass cast of an Eubrontes giganteus footprint was made by Paul E. Olsen, then 14 years old, and his friend Tony Lessa.
On June 29, 1972, it was sent by Olsen and Lessa to President Richard Nixon to get his support for registering the Riker Hill Fossil Site in Roseland, New Jersey as a National Natural Landmark.
[11] An ichnospecies of dinosaur footprint from the Early Cretaceous of Gulin County, Sichuan, China was discovered and named as Eubrontes nobitai.
