(archaeology) A hypothesized and subsequently discredited early human who was contemporaneous with dinosaurs, based on fossil footprints found in the same limestone bed for both a species of dinosaur and for a human (subsequently shown to be a tridactyl dinosaur).

Langston also noted that one of the most widely reproduced footprint photos of Paluxy man shows a portion of a poor print of a tridactyl dinosaur; this may be clear, however, only to someone who, having studied the anatomy of the dinosaur foot, knows what to look for.
