Hyloidichnus is a reptile ichnogenus commonly found in assemblages of ichnofossils dating to the Permian[1] to Triassic[2] in North America,[1] Africa,[2][3] South America,[4] and Europe.[5]
The animal that created the tracks was most likely from the subfamily Moradisaurinae, a group of lizard-like reptiles.[6]
