Dimetropus is a reptile ichnogenus commonly found in assemblages of ichnofossils dating to the Permian[1] to Triassic[2] in Europe[2][3] and North America.[1] Analysis of trackways of Dimetropus provides evidence that the tracks were left by diadectids or non-therapsid synapsids ("pelycosaurs").[4]
