Summary[
edit] Description: English: A guesswork of how the late
triassic reptile Saltopus ("Leaping foot") might looked like. It's uncertain what for a type of
archosaurian this creature is, since the
fossil founds is very incomplete, but it's possible it was a early
theropod dinosaur, related to
Coelophysis (this is what it is depicted as here, and this is mostly a guess). Future updates of this restorations will be based on the 2010 study by Benton and Walker.
