genus ofdinosaur from the MiddleJurassic (Bathonian toCallovian stages). It was atheropod which lived in what is now China. The fossils were found in theXiashaximiao Formation ofSichuan .The suggested "
type species ", "Szechuanoraptor dongi", was coined by Daniel Chure in 2000, and is based on a partial skeleton, including most of thevertebra e, arm, leg, and hip bones. Other material assigned to the genus include "Szechuanosaurus yandonensis" and "Szechuanosaurus zigongensis". None of thesespecies have been fully described, and the genus remains a "nomen nudum ".References
