Ngexisaurus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Ngexisaurus" is the name given to an as yet undescribed genus of dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic. It was a coelurosaur which lived in what is now China. The type species, "Ngexisaurus dapukaensis", was coined by Zhao in 1983. Although it would be of great interest to dinosaur paleontologists because its assignment as a coelurosaur implies it was a small theropod, which are poorly known throughout the Mesozoic (and especially in the Middle Jurassic, when several lineages of coelurosaurs are believed to have been acquiring their special characteristics), it has not been redescribed or even mentioned in anything more detailed than a faunal list since its initial citation.
