    Abstract:

    The dinosaur footprints from the Jiaguan Formation, Middle Cretaceous of Qijiang, Chongqing, are described. Some new ichnotaxa, Qijiangpus sinensis ichnogen, et ichnosp, nov. of Ankylosauria, Wupus agilis ichnogen, et ichnosp, nov. of Theropoda, Laoyingshanpustorridus ichnogen, et ichnosp, nov. and Caririchnium lotus ichnosp, nov. of Ornithopoda are erected. Among them, Qijiangpus sinensis ichnogen, et ichnosp, nov. is the first-recorded trace fossil of Ankylosauria from China. Caririchnium lotus ichnosp, nov. provides the evidence of the ontogenic development of Hadrosauroidea.
