Meet Diluvicursor pickeringi ('flood runner'), a small ornithopod from the Early Cretaceous Eumeralla formation. It gets its name from the deep, fast river in whose sediments it was found. As usual with Australian terrestrial body fossils, the remains are fragmentary but look like enough to be diagnostic: Most of the tail and part of the right leg.
