Jialingpus is an ichnogenus of dinosaur, likely a theropod. Its footprints have been found in the Feitianshan Formation, a low-energy lake formation and the holotype is SCFP-24, which was found in Late Jurassic (Oxfordian)-aged Yuechi tracksite at Huanglong, China.[1] Its footprints were found within the vicinity of those of the smaller theropod Minisauripus, meaning that it likely hunted Minisauripus.[2]
