scientific name |
Deltadromeus agilis Sereno, Dutheil, Iarochene, Larsson, Lyon, Magwene, Sidor, Varricchio and Wilson, 1996 |
status |
|
Age . Cenomanian.
Occurrence. Kem Kem beds, eastern Morocco.
Diagnosis. Coracoid with slight concavity in anterior rim; femur with accessory trochanter on posteromedial side distal of the fourth trochanter; well-developed ridge medially on anterior side of distal end of femur.
Remarks. Deltadromeus is very similar to the contemporary Bahariasaurus from the Baharia Oasis of Egypt, and some of the elements described by Stromer (1934 b) as Bahariasaurus might be referable to this genus (Sereno et al. 1996). Unfortunately, the holotype of Bahariasaurus no longer exists, and no diagnostic characters for this genus are apparent in Stromer’s (1934 b) figures. Therefore, it seems best to regard Bahariasaurus as a nomen dubium, although it may be congeneric with Deltadromeus .
