Hisanohamasaurus

"Hisanohamasaurus" (meaning "Hisano-hama lizard") is the informal name given to an as yet undescribed genus of dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous. It is a nomen nudum known only from teeth that first appeared in a general-audience dinosaur book by David Lambert in 1990. Although initially identified a diplodocid,^[1] it later re-identified as a nemegtosaurid similar to Nemegtosaurus.^[2] As its name suggests, its fossils were found in Japan. The location is part of Iwaki, Fukushima.
