Damalasaurus

Damalasaurus

"Damalasaurus" (meaning "Damala lizard") is the informal name (nomen nudum) given to a genus of herbivorous dinosaur from the Early Jurassic. It was a sauropod, though its exact classification within the clade is unknown. Fossils of "Damalasaurus", including a rib, have been found in the Middle Daye Group of Tibet. Species attributed to this genus include "Damalasaurus laticostalis" and "D. magnus".[1]
