Specimens

Sphingopus type footprints are known from two locations. Fossils dating 228–245 million years have been recovered from what appears to have been a lagoon in the Grès d'Antully Formation in Saône-et-Loire, France.[2][3][4][5] More recently, older tracks attributed to this form, dating 246–250 million years ago, have been discovered in the Holy Cross Mountains in Poland.[1]
