Eshanosaurus deguchiianus Xu, et al., 2001 |
Eshanosaurus is the name given to a genus of dinosaur from the Early Jurassic. It was a dinosaur, but little else is known about it, because only a lower jaw-bone has been found. The fossil was found in China.
The type species, Eshanosaurus deguchiianus, was described by Xu, Zhao, and Clark in 2001. It has tentatively been placed in the therizinosaur family.
