This article describes the first record of Ichniotherium (Pohlig, 1892), from the Grand Canyon National Park, which is also the geologically youngest record of the ichnogenus. This new record is composed of four complete and associated trackways, discovered in 2013 within a fallen boulder of the Coconino Sandstone adjacent to the Dripping Springs Trail, along the southern rim of the canyon. These trackways were produced by quadruped animals, with pentadactyl and elliptic autopodia.
