Sinankylosaurus

Wang et al. 2020

Sinankylosaurus is a dubious dinosaur genus known from the Late Cretaceous Hongtuya Formation of China. The genus contains a single species, Sinankylosaurus zhuchengensis, known from a partial right ilium. This specimen was originally described as belonging to an ankylosaur, although later research has disputed this identification, noting the lack of anatomical characters uniting Sinankylosaurus with this group.
