Likhoelesaurus

"Likhoelesaurus" (meaning "Li Khole lizard") is the name given to an as yet undescribed genus of dinosaur (or rauisuchian [http://dml.cmnh.org/2000Sep/msg00035.html] ) from the Late Triassic of what is now South Africa. The name was coined by Ellenberger in 1972 (or 1970 [http://members.aol.com/Dinogeorge/dinolist.html#L] ), and the "type species" is "Likhoelesaurus ingens". It is named after the town where the fossils were found. The only fossils recovered have been teeth, from the late Carnian-early Norian-age Lower Elliot Formation.
