Klamelisaurus is the name given to a genus of dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic. It was a sauropod similar to Bellusaurus, of which it may actually be an adult specimen. It was found in the Gobi desert of Asia.
The type species, K. gobiensis, was described by Zhao Xijin in 1993 from the Shishugou Formation.[1]
