From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dyslocosaurus (meaning "hard to place lizard") is the name given to a genus of sauropod dinosaur from the Late Jurassic Periods. Its fossils were found in North America.
The type species, D. polyonychius, was 'discovered' in a museum, with little information as to where it came from, leading to a rather dubious guess to its exact age. It was originally thought to be from the Late Cretaceous Period, but is now thought to be from the Jurassic Period, like most diplodocids. The genus name is a reference to this confusion. It was originally thought to be a diplodocid itself but may in fact be a titanosaur.
