Sanchusaurus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Sanchusaurus" (meaning "Lizard from Sanchu") is an informal name for an ornithomimid dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous period of Asia. It is only known by a partial tail vertebra,[1] found in Nakasato, Japan.[2] It may be synonymous with Gallimimus;[3] Dong Zhiming and coauthors assigned to Gallimimus sp. in 1990.[1] The genus has not been formally described and is considered a nomen nudum. It was first mentioned by Hisa in 1985.[3]
