Haenamichnus

Haenamichnus is an ichnogenus that has been attributed to azhdarchid pterosaurs. In 2002, paleontologists Hwang, Huh, Wright, Martin Lockley, and Unwin named the type species Haenamichnus uhangriensis, based on fossil tracks they found in South Korea, dating to 86.3 to 70.6 million years ago, during the Santonian to Campanian stages of the Cretaceous Period [1]
