Hyloidichnus is a reptile ichnogenus commonly found in assemblages of ichnofossils dating to the Permian to Triassic in North America,^[1] Africa,^{[2] [3]} South America,^[4] and Europe.^[5]

The animal that created the tracks was most likely from the subfamily Moradisaurinae, a group of lizard-like reptiles.^[6]
