*"S. suteethorni" Buffetaut & Ingavat, 1986 (type)

"Siamosaurus" (meaning "Siamese lizard") is a genus of theropod dinosaur from Early Cretaceous Thailand. The size of the animal is unknown, but it may have reached a length of about 9.1 meters (30 ft). The type species, "Siamosaurus suteethorni", was formally described by Buffetaut and Ingavat in 1986. There is very little information on this Cretaceous meat-eater, but it is known from teeth that closely resemble those of "Spinosaurus"; it may have eaten fish.
