Sauroidichnites is an ichnotaxon of saurian reptiles."Fossil Footsteps in Sandstone and Graywacke" by Edward Hitchcock, in The American Journal of Science Volume 32, July 1837. Page 174 The name was originally used by Edward Hitchcock as a higher group name rather than a specific ichnogenus, and thus the name does not have priority over specific ichnogenus names even if they were first identified as Sauroidichnites.The Beginning of the Age of Dinosaurs: Faunal Change across the Triassic-Jurassic Boundary, edited by Kevin Padian (1988). Page 263.

Paleopathology A Sauroidichnites abnormis trackway preserves tracks made by a theropod with "an abnormally positioned toe". This could be a result of physical injury or behavioral in the way the foot is positioned or lifted from the substrate.Molnar, R. E., 2001, Theropod paleopathology: a literature survey: In: Mesozoic Vertebrate Life, edited by Tanke, D. H., and Carpenter, K., Indiana University Press, p. 337-363.
