Avipes
Avipes is a genus of extinct archosaurs represented by the single species Avipes dillstedtianus, which lived during the middle Triassic period. The only known fossil specimen, a partial foot, was found in Bedheim, Thuringia, Germany, in deposits of Lettenkohlensandstein. Avipes was named in 1932 by Friedrich [von Huene|Huene]. Although originally classified as a coelurosaur or a ceratosaur, a new study of the fossil specimen found that it was too incomplete to assign to a group more specific than Archosauria, and so it was regarded as indeterminate by Rauhut and Hungerbuhler in 2000.
