Description: Original figure caption: Right hind foot of Anchisaurus major, Marsh; front view. One-fourth natural size. Additional note: The taxon was re-assigned to the freshly erected genus Ammosaurus by Marsh in 1891. Today, Ammosaurus major (.mw-parser-output .smallcaps{font-variant:small-caps}Marsh, 1889) is considered a junor synonym of Anchisaurus polyzelus (Hitchcock, 1865).[1] ↑ Adam M.
