Abstract

Two Crocodyliform footprints from "les couches rouges" of the Middle Jurassic of the High Atlas are described.We highlight it for its scarcity in the global record. Footprints cannot be compared with other known ichnogenus. The pes print is incomplete.We assume that it is a continental crocodyliform because the footprints are in fluvial deposits. Finally there follows, although with wide margins of uncertainty, the size that we assume for the trackmaker
