Model of Skartopus (the small, orange carnivores at the bottom of the picture) at the site of the footprints in Winton, Australia.
Skartopus is an ichnogenus of theropod dinosaur known only from footprints found in Australia alongside those of contemporary herbivore Wintonopus. Due to the size of the prints, it was most likely a small carnivore.
