Xinjiangovenator was a genus of coelurosaurian dinosaur of the Valanginian to Albian stages of the Early Cretaceous period. It lived in China. Based on a partial right leg, it was originally thought to be a new specimen of Phaedrolosaurus.[1] It may be related to Bagaraatan, and therefore a tyrannosaur.[2]
