The Fumanya tracksite has yielded an abundant record of dinosaur tracks accounting for more than 3000 footprints occurring in a single bedding surface. This bed is a marly limestone that was deposited in a transitional mud-flat that crops out extensively in the open cast coal mines of the Vallce-bre syncline. Up to date only titanosaurid tracks have been reported at Fumanya site. Such tracksshow the typical wide gauge pattern and print morphology of titanosaurids. We briefly describe anew and completely different trackway located in the same layer where titanosaurids tracks are found. Footprint morphology and trackway pattern seems to suggest a theropod trackmaker despite some peculiarities. Nevertheless such tracks are undergoing a severe and irreversible erosion that makes difficult their preservation and more accurate studies.
