Extract

This footprint was noticed by Mr. A. R. Horwood in the British Association Trias Committee's Report for 1909 (5) and there referred to as resembling Cheirotherium herculis (Eg.) and to be from the Lower Keuper Sandstone. As mentioned in that note, it was found in an excavation at Kegworth, North Leicestershire, some thirty-four years ago by Mr. J. Large, who in 1909 presented it to the Leicester Corporation Museum. It is interesting as being the only Chirosauroid print so far recorded from the Keuper rocks of Leicestershire, and proves the occurrence in that area of animals and conditions similar to those which existed in Cheshire, Staffordshire, and Warwickshire during the Keuper period.
