}} Minisauripus is an ichnogenus of dinosaur footprint. Minisauripus is regarded as the smallest dinosaur ever discovered. It was less than 20 cm (7.8 inches) long. Its footprints have been found in the Feitianshan Formation, a low-energy lake formation. Its footrpints were found within the vicinity of those of the larger Jialingpus. FactsBased on the trackways, Minisauripus was possibly a troodontid or a dromaeosaurid, or a hatchling theropod. However, ichnopalaeontologists aren't sure if it belonged to an actual juvenile dinosaur. See also{{Portal|Dinosaurs|Paleontology|Geology||}}
