Kelmayisaurus was an early Cretaceous saurischian dinosaur genus. Its name refers to the petroleum-producing city of Karamay in the Xinjiang province of western China near where it was found.
[edit] Discovery and species
Kelmayisaurus is known only from a lower jawbone found in 1988. It is a nomen dubium due to the scant nature of the remains. The type, and only known species, is K. petrolicus.
[edit] Classification
It is a bipedal carnivore, possibly larger than Allosaurus. It has some features which resemble Ceratosaurus.
