26, see text Anomoepus is the name assigned to several fossil footprints first reported from Early Jurassic beds of the Connecticut River Valley, Massachusetts, US in 1802.
The footprints were discovered, amongst others, by a farm boy, Pliny Moody.
Hitchcock, a clergyman, described the Anomoepus footprints and others as evidence of ancient birds.
They have since been identified as belonging to a dinosaur, probably an ornithischian, as indicated by the number of toes and the absence of claws on the rear digits.
Trackways assigned to Anomoepus from Western Australia, Poland and Czech Republic[1] have also been described.
