Unicerosaurus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Unicerosaurus" is a nomen nudum coined by creation scientist Carl Baugh.[1] It has never been formally described. Baugh had claimed that "Unicerosaurus" was a dinosaur, but this was rejected by Canadian geologist John R. Armstrong in a 1987 paper, which identified the animal as a fish.[1][2][3] Its name derives from a mixture of Latin and Greek, Uni- "one", κερας/cera- "horn" and σαυρος/saurus "lizard". Although "Unicerosaurus" has appeared in various lists of dinosaurs, it is not considered a valid genus by mainstream paleontologists.[4][5]
