The study of the lower Berriasian (Lower Cretaceous) of the Sierra del Pozo (Internal Prebetic, Betic Cordillera) has made possible the discovery of three dinosaur tracks that correspond to the digitigrade footprints (28.7 to 26.1 cm long and 19.9 to 21.4 cm wide) of mesaxonic tridactyls. The tracks are located at the top of two shallowing-upwards sequences with desiccation-related mud cracks that correspond to supratidal facies. The trackmakers were medium-sized theropods, on the basis of the p
