Bron·to·zo·um n. Paleon. An extinct animal of large size, known from its three-toed footprints in Mesozoic sandstone.
Note: ☞ The tracks made by these reptiles are found eighteen inches in length, and were formerly referred to gigantic birds; but the discovery of large bipedal three-toed dinosaurs has suggested that they were made by those reptiles.
