''Foot of Agilisaurus'' - except this looks like a foot of a large sauropod? This foot was very tall and it doesn't have the birdy toes Agilisaurus had? Anyone have any ideas whose foot this really is?

Name: Agilisaurus louderbacki

Name Meaning: Agile Reptile

First Described: 1990

Described By: Peng

Classification: Dinosauria, Ornithischia, Genasauria, Neornithischia

Agilisaurus is a Neornithischian known from a complete skeleton, and it’s one of the most complete small Ornithischians ever found. It was found during the construction of the Zigong Dinosaur Museum where now it is stored, in Dashanpu Quarry, neary Zigong, Sichuan, China. It lived about 168 to 161 million years ago, somewhere between the Bathonian to Callovian ages of the Middle Jurassic. It was about 1.2 meters long, and had a beak to help it crop vegetation. It’s classification is somewhat in flux, as it has been found to be close to Marginocephalia, Ornithopoda, and as such it has been only placed in Neornithischia for now. It would have been diurnal, only active during the day, and of course covered in filamentous feathers such as that found on Tianyulong and Kulindadromeus.
