Footprints attributed to ichnotaxon Cheirotherium barthi from A Guide to the Fossil Reptiles and Fishes in the Department of Geology and Paleontology in the British Museum (Natural History), 1896.
200 million years ago, a creature we call Cheirotherium stepped in some mud in the place we now call Germany. That is everything we know about it. No remains have ever been found.
