SHANYANGOSAURUS

'''Shanyangosaurus''' was a genus of theropod dinosaur found in Shaanxi, China, and known only from a few fragmentary leg bones. The bones are reportedly hollow;^[1] this, along with other features of the femur and known foot bones, suggest it is a member of the coelurosauria, but a specific family cannot be determined without more material. Holtz ''et al''. assigned ''Shanyangosaurus'' to Avetheropoda.^[2]
