Abstract
A historical survey of the discovery of footprints of iguanodont dinosaurs is presented, from the first reports in 1846 to the present. Reasons are given for considering the ichnogenera Iguanodonichnus and Camptosaurichnus to be problematical and respectively comprising the footprints of sauropods and theropods; consequently, no valid ichnogenus has been available to accommodate those of typical iguanodonts. The desirability of selecting a type series of Iguanodon footprints from the Early Cretaceous Purbeck Beds of southern England, rather than from the somewhat later Hastings Beds (Weal‐den), is explained. The new ichnogenus Iguanodon‐tipus is proposed; its type ichnospecies, I. burreyi, is illustrated and discussed.
