"Scrotum humanum" a torvosaur and Jurassic Chinese theropod updates - The Theropod Database January 2023

Happy New Years everyone!  Sorry about how long it took to post the update, but I was covering too many sections at once.

Darren Naish's post on Middle Jurassic British theropod femur OUMNH J29757 and "Scrotum humanum" led me to do something that's been on my list for a while- compare the one original figure of "Scrotum" to other theropods to see if is really Megalosaurus as has long been assumed.  Turns out it's closer to another closely related taxon...


"Scrotum" Brookes, 1763
"S. humanum" Brookes, 1763
Aalenian-Bajocian?, Middle Jurassic
unknown quarry, Inferior Oolite?, Cornwell, England
Material- (lost) distal femur (~235 mm trans)
Diagnosis- (proposed) ectocondylar tuber limited to medial half of ectocondyle; ectocondyle subequal in size and shape to endocondyle.
Comments- Originally described and illustrated by Plot (1677) as the distal femur of a giant human, this is famous as being the first Mesozoic dinosaur bone to be published. Brookes (1793) later summarized Plot's description and opinions but labeled the specimen Sctrotum Humanum in his plate. Rieppel (2022) notes that "At the top of page 317, Brookes (1763) noted that 'other stones have been found exactly representing the private parts of a man; and others in the shape of kidneys . . . ', and continued further down on the same page" described the femur.  As "the plates and the individual figures they contain are not numbered separately, but are identified by the pagination number of the page on which the respective specimens are mentioned or described. The conclusion seems to be that the illustrator took the femur fragment to be an example of those stones referred to on page 317 as 'exactly representing the private parts of a man', and erroneously labelled it accordingly."  Phillips (1871) believed it was from the Inferior Oolite (Aalenian-Bajocian) and stated "It may have been the femur of a large megalosaurus or a small ceteosaurus" without evidence.  As described by Delair and Sargeant (1975), Halstead (1970) "pointed out that because of its date of publication (post-Linnean, i.e. after 1758), this binomen can be considered a perfectly valid publication of the first generic and specific name ever applied to dinosaurian remains. It is perhaps fortunate that the name was not thereafter employed by any subsequent worker, and thus Scrotum humanum Brookes must be treated as a nomen oblitum and discarded."  They (and Halstead) considered it more probable to be Megalosaurus than Cetiosaurus without evidence and stated "The specimen unfortunately is lost."  Halstead and Sarjeant (1993; publication duplicated in 1995) noted that while Scrotum should be treated as a nomen oblitum under ICZN Article 23b (First Edition), "no application was made then, or has been made since, for the formal suppression of Brookes's binomen."  The Third Edition of the ICZN came out in 1985 and eliminated the nomen oblitum clause, so the authors petitioned the ICZN in 1992 "(I) to use its plenary powers to suppress the generic name Scrotum Brookes, 1763 and the specific name S. humanum Brookes, 1763; (2) to retain on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology the name Megalosaurus Buckland in Parkinson, 1822, type species by subsequent designation M. bucklandi Meyer. 1832. (3) to retain on the Official List of Specific Names in Biology the name bucklandi as published in the binomen Megalosaurus bucklandi (specific name of the type species of Megalosaurus Buckland in Parkinson, 1822, by designation in Meyer, 1832); (4) To place on the Official List of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology the name Scrotum Brookes, 1763; (5) to place on the Official List of Rejected and Invalid Specific Names in Zoology the name humanum Brookes, 1763, as published in the binomen Scrotum humanum, and as suppressed in (1) above." as listed in 1993.  As recalled by the authors, Tubbs (Executive Secretary to the ICZN) replied later that year that "The text on p. 301 of Brookes (1763) makes it quite clear that the two words "Scrotum humanum" on the plate were a description of a specimen, and that Brookes did not establish a genus Scrotum or a species humanum (any more than he did a species Kidney stone on the same plate!). The words just happened to be Latin."  Furthermore, since "[the name Scrotum humanum] has never been used as a scientific name", it "is therefore unavailable under Article 11d of the Code" (Third Edition- "Names to be treated as valid when proposed. - Except as in (i) below, a name must be treated as valid for a taxon when proposed unless it was first published as a junior synonym and subsequently made available under the provisions of Section e of this article.").  Finally, because "Plot's long-lost specimen was ... not certainly, a Megalosaurus bone", Tubbs wrote that "the Commission is willing to take action only when there is an appreciable and real, as opposed to hypothetical, threat to stability or nomenclature. This is not the case for Megalosaurus."  Note that Tubbs was incorrect that Brookes ever specified Scrotum Humanum was a description instead of a name, with page 301 being an unrelated section on plant fossils, so his use of Article 11d was unwarranted although recently supported by Rieppel's logic.  He was also wrong that it had never been used as a scientific name, as Molnar et al. (1990) listed Scrotum humanum as a carnosaur nomen dubium.  Under the current ICZN, "Scrotum humanum" would be a nomen nudum based on Article 11.5- "To be available, a name must be used as valid for a taxon when proposed."  Tubbs was right that the referral to Megalosaurus was merely hypothetical though, as it has never been supported by published evidence and seems unwarranted.
The femur is dissimilar from Cetiosaurus (both the lectotype OUMNH J13615 and the Rutland specimen LCM G468.1968) in being 45-86% larger, having a distally extended medial condyle, and a fibular groove placed at the lateral edge.  Note the estimated transverse diameter is based on Plot's statement the narrowest shaft circumference was 15 inches (= 381 mm) and scaled from the figure.  Compared to this, Megalosaurus femora are slightly smaller (shaft diameter 265-343 mm), and differ in having a more distomedially extended and pointed medial condyle, more laterally positioned ectocondylar tuber, and a straight lateral edge until the distal extent of the tuber.  These same differences are also usually present in e.g. Cruxicheiros, piatnitzkysaurids, Eustreptospondylus, Erectopus, Allosaurus, and Juratyrant among large Jurassic theropods whose distal femora are undistorted and figured in posterior view.  If "Scrotum" is from the Inferior Oolite it is also earlier than Megalosaurus, and differs from the contemporaneous Magnosaurus in the same ways when preserved (more laterally positioned ectocondylar tuber; straight lateral edge until the distal extent of the tuber), although it could derive from Duriavenator with which it cannot be compared.  Sinraptor dongi is slightly more similar to "Scrotum" in having a convex lateral edge alongside the ectocondylar tuber, but it is "Brontoraptor" which is most similar in having that character, an evenly rounded medial condyle and a more medially placed ectocondylar tuber.  Torvosaurus (ML 632) shows the last character at least but cannot be evaluated for the rest, so "Scrotum" might be best characterized as a torvosaur and may relate to "Megalosaurus" "phillipsi" from the Kimmeridgian of England that also has characters similar to "Brontoraptor" and Torvosaurus.  "Brontoraptor" also has a similar circumference (376 mm) and internal cavity size based on Siegwarth et al.'s Figure 8E.  Whether the remaining differences (ectocondylar tuber limited to medial half of ectocondyle; ectocondyle subequal in size and shape to endocondyle) are genuine or illustration error caused by Plot generalizing then unfamiliar megalosauroid anatomy is uncertain.  Note "Scrotum" can be excluded from Ceratosauria based on the absence of a tall anteromedial crest, and from Coeluridae, Proceratosauridae and Maniraptoromorpha based on the deep extensor groove described by Plot and large size (with occasional exceptions, e.g. Yutyrannus).

"Scrotum humanum" distal femur (lost; leftmost; after Plot, 1677), compared to (left to right) "Brontoraptor" (TATE 0012; after Siegwarth et al., unpublished), Megalosaurus bucklandii (NHMUK 31806; after Benson, 2010b), Magnosaurus nethercombensis (OUMNH J12143; after Benson, 2010a).

Also updated is Chienkosaurus, which thanks to the recent description of Sinraptor dongi teeth by Hendrickx et al. (2020), I feel can be placed in Metriacanthosauridae.  This and Szechuanosaurus were coincidentally recently reviewed by Curtice at his blog I've started following, Dr. BC's Hindsight at Fossil Crates, which I highly recommend.

Chienkosaurus Young, 1942
C. ceratosauroides Young, 1942
Tithonian?, Late Jurassic
IVPP locality 47, upper Guangyuan Group, Sichuan, China
Lectotype- (IVPP V237A) (~8 m) posterior premaxillary tooth (44x16x12 mm)
Referred- ?(IVPP V193) ulna (164 mm) (Young, 1942)
Bathonian-Callovian?, Middle Jurassic
IVPP locality 49, middle Guangyuan Group, Sichuan, China
?(IVPP V190) (~5 m) ~ninth caudal centrum (66 mm) (Young, 1942)
Other diagnoses- Young (1942) originally diagnosed Chienkosaurus with- "Teeth thick and sharply pointed with fine palisade denticulations on both sides. The anterior which are finer than the posterior ones push lingually
towards the base and form a ridge topping at a distance before the base of the tooth."
Comments- The material was discovered in late Spring 1941, with the type consisting of four isolated teeth IVPP V237A-D.  Young's (1942) diagnosis was "Mainly based upon" the largest tooth (V237A), with the three smaller teeth considered immature and (possibly incorrectly) lacking their bases.  He stated "The general shape of the teeth resembles that of Labrosaurus stechowi" which was prescient as both are based on mesial dentition, and considered Chienkosaurus a ceratosaurid based on the questionably referred postcrania.  Ironically, "Labrosaurus" stechowi is now thought to be ceratosaurid, but as Young noted Chienkosaurus lacks its lingual fluting which has proven to be a ceratosaurid character.  Subsequently, Chienkosaurus was generally placed in Megalosauridae (e.g. Romer, 1956; Steel, 1970; Dong et al., 1978) when it was used as a waste basket for almost all large Jurassic theropods including Ceratosaurus and later Yangchuanosaurus.  Note Huene (1959) when citing Chienkosaurus as named in 1958 from the Late Cretaceous of Shantung meant to list Chingkankousaurus.  Dong et al. (1983) reported that "Rozhdestvensky (1964) proposed that the four teeth of Chienkosaurus could possibly belong to the Crocodilia" (translated), but which work this corresponds to was not listed in the bibliography and cannot be determined.  Dong et al. also stated "during the editing of "The Handbook of Chinese Fossil Vertebrates," Zhiming Dong conducted a review of these four specimens and formally confirmed that the best preserved tooth among the V237 collection was a premaxillary tooth of a carnosaurian dinosaur, but that the remaining three teeth were assignable to the crocodile Hsisosuchus."  The dentition of Hsisosuchus has not been described or figured in enough detail to distinguish it from theropods, but two of the teeth (IVPP V237B and V237D) are similar in being short and barely recurved with a high crown base ratio, characters shared with the tooth figured separately in Hsisosuchus' type description.  They are provisionally placed in Hsisosuchus sp. here.  The third supposed Hsisosuchus tooth (IVPP V237C) is different in having a distinctly D-shaped section with strong carinae somewhat like Guimarota tyrannosauroid premaxillary tooth IPFUB GUI D 89, so is provisionally placed in Tyrannosauroidea here.  Retaining only one of Chienkosaurus' syntype teeth in the genus would make it the lectotype, and as ICZN Article 74.5 states "In a lectotype designation made before 2000, either the term "lectotype", or an exact translation or equivalent expression (e.g. "the type"), must have been used or the author must have unambiguously selected a particular syntype to act as the unique name-bearing type of the taxon", and Dong et al. explicitly make Chienkosaurus a synonym of Szechuanosaurus, and of Chienkosaurus' syntypes only consider IVPP V237A to be theropodan, this is here considered a valid lectotype designation.  Rozhdestveksy (1977) earlier listed Szechuanosaurus campi and Chienkosaurus ceratosauroides as "synonyms?" in his Table 1 without comment, while Dong et al.'s synonymization was based on examining Yangchuanosaurus teeth from CV 00214 to correctly determine "the differences among carnosaur dentitions are due only to being in a different position in the dentition" and noting Chienkosaurus' and Szechuanosaurus' types are from the same locality.  While this indeed makes it possible they even derive from the same individual, none of the teeth have been shown to be diagnostic within metriacanthosaurids, and synonymization should be based on autapomorphies or unique combinations of characters instead of provenance.  This synonymization of part of the Chienkosaurus type with Szechuanosaurus was followed by Molnar et al. (1990) where they consider the taxon an allosaurid, which makes sense as Dong was a coauthor.  Most recently, Hendrickx et al. included Chienkosaurus in their cluster analyses, although the taxon is never mentioned in the text, matrices or table of examined taxa.  Classical/Hierarchical clustering resolves it with Genyodectes, Sinraptor dongi (the only metriacanthosaurid analyzed there) and Allosaurus, while neighbour joining clustering resolves it sister to a clade whose basal members are 'Indosuchus' AMNH jaws, Allosaurus and S. dongi. 
Young placed locality 47 at "the top part of the Kuangyuan Series and immediately below the Chentsianyen conglomerate", now known as the Guangyuan Group and the Chengqiangyan Group, with the former corresponding to the Xiashaximiao Formation through the Penglaizhen Formation.  As it was found "immediately below" the boundary (layer 8b in Young et al., 1943), Chienkosaurus may be from the Penglaizhen Formation or slightly lower Shuining Formation.  The age is listed as Tithonian on fossilworks and in Weishampel (1990), the latter cited as from "Dong (pers. comm.)". 
The tooth is similar to many large theropod teeth in general characters, but is from the premaxilla as evidenced by the twisted mesial carina and reduced extent of mesial serrations. The crown base ratio (.75) is between the third and fourth premaxillary teeth of Sinraptor dongi's holotype (pm3 .60; pm4 1.04), which also match in size (pm3 FABL 16.87 mm; pm4 BW 12.26 mm) and in lacking mesial serrations basally.  The cited mesial (15 per 5 mm) and distal (6.7-10 per 5 mm) serration densities are matched by teeth of S. dongi, and the strong mesial carina Young describes could easily be due to the "longitudinal groove adjacent to the mesial carina, on the lingual surface of the crown" "clearly present in lpm3 and lpm4" as described by Hendrickx et al. (2020) for S. dongi.  Thus Chienkosaurus is indistinguishable from Sinraptor dongi as far as can be determined from the description, and given its poorly constrained age could be contemporaneous or even synonymous.  Hendrickx et al.'s matrices show no differences between Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis (including Y. magnus), Sinraptor dongi and S. hepingensis that can be evaluated for Chienkosaurus, so pending Hendrickx's in prep. study on metriacanthosaurid dental anatomy the genus is considered Metriacanthosauridae indet..
Referred material- Young (1942) figured and described an ulna from the type locality (IVPP V193), stating he "would prefer to refer this ulna to Chienkosaurus ceratosauroides above described."  The element is very different from Limusaurus in having marked transverse expansions proximally and distally as well as a triangular versus reniform proximal end, so that if Sinocoelurus is closely related to that genus the ulna is unlikely to belong to it.  Eoabelisaurus has a much longer olecranon.  The ulnae of megalosaurids and Kaijiangosaurus is far more robust with more proximally extended olecranons, while those of most coelurosaurs (e.g. Zuolong, Guanlong, Coelurus, Tanycolagreus, Fukuivenator) are much more slender with developed olecranons as well.  Fukuiraptor has a dissimilar ulna with a strong olecranon, prominent anteroproximal longitudinal ridge and unexpanded distal end.  This leaves several roughly comparable taxa whose ulnae have been figured in anteroposterior view- Ceratosaurus, Poekilopleuron, Yangchuanosaurus, Allosaurus and Haplocheirus.  Young compared it favorably to the former, writing "it fits rather well with the ulna of Ceratosaurus nasicornis (length of ulna, 17.7 cm.) which is only slightly longer than the present form", and indeed the main difference in profile is the more gradual proximal expansion laterally.  However, in proximal view IVPP V193 differs from Ceratosaurus and most other proximally figured ulnae in having a centrally placed olecranon (also seen in Coelurus, but not Tanycolagreus).  While only photographed in anterior view, the ulna of Yangchuanosaurus (CV 00214) would also seem to have a centrally placed olecranon, so IVPP V193 may be correctly referred to Chienkosaurus/Szechuanosaurus after all.
Young (1942) describes IVPP V190 as "A complete centrum of an anterior caudal vertebra (or posterior lumbar) with length 66 mm., breadth 41 mm., minimum breadth of the centrum 24 mm", noting it "fit in size with Chienkosaurus ceratosauroides" and calling it Theropoda indet. in the plate caption but also saying there it "probably belonging to Chienkosaurus ceratosauroides."  With a length/height ratio of 144% it is comparable to the ninth caudal of Sinraptor hepingensis and indistinguishable in lateral view.  It differs in being 85% wider than tall vs. 95%, but this is within the range of variation in hepingensis' caudals.  Notably, this is from a different locality than the type, said by Young to be in "the middle part of the" ... "Kuangyuan Series", layer 5a in Young et al. (1943), and thus possibly corresponding to the Shangshaximiao Formation.  Thus while lacking a plausible connection to Chienkosaurus, it is congruent with being metriacanthosaurid but may also be e.g. piatnitzkysaurid or megalosaurid.

Also newly revealed to be metriacanthosaurid is "Yuanmouraptor"-

"Yuanmouraptor" Anonymous, 2014
Middle Jurassic
Yuanmou County, Yunnan, China
Material- (ZLJ 0115) partial skull, mandibles (one incomplete, one partial), postcrania
Comments- This specimen is on display at the ZLJ as a new carnosaur, but has yet to be described. There is a mounted skeleton, but how much is original is unreported.  Hendrickx et al. (2019) call this "an undescribed metriacanthosaurid (ZLJT 0115)", state it has mesial and lateral teeth with "four to six, possibly more" flutes, and list it as "Metriacanthosauridae indet." in their Appendix 1 indicating information was from photos provided by Stiegler.

As part of a review of Jurassic Chinese theropods, I went over the largest Jurassic theropod, previously referred to Szechuanosaurus campi.

unnamed averostran (Camp, 1935)
Middle Jurassic?
Jung-Hsein UCMP V1501, middle Chongqing Group, Sichuan, China
Material- (UCMP 32102) (~14.7 m) mesial dentary tooth (~69x~22x? mm), rib fragment, ischial fragment, femoral fragment (~1.33 m)
Comments- The specimen was collected on August 30 1915 by Louderback.  Note the UCMP locality number is V1501 (as determined in their online catalogue), not V151 as listed by Camp.  Jung-Hsien is now called Rongxian, a county in Zigong City.  Camp stated "The beds in which they occur have been called the Szechuan series", which was a term for the stratigraphic section from the Early Jurassic Qianfuyan (= Tsienfuyan) Formation and Ziliujing (= Tsuliuching, = Tzeliutsin) Formation to the Cretaceous Chengqiangyan (= Chengtsiangyen) Group and Jiading (= Chiating, = Tshiating) Group, depending on north versus south in the Sichuan Basin. Rongxian is located in the south, so UCMP V1501 would be part of the Ziliujing-Chongqing-Jiading sequence, and Young (1937; see also Young et al., 1943) placed it above the Ziliujing Formation but below the conglomerates of the Jiading Group, and thus within the Middle-Late Jurassic Chongqing Group.  Furthermore, Young (1937) stated "The fossiliferous horizon discovered by Louderback lies probably between our horizons 2 and 3, some 200 meters above horizon 2" which is the type locality of Omeisaurus junghsiensis.  As Omeisaurus is generally recovered in the Xiashaximiao Formation and horizon 3 is another 300 meters above where Young placed UCMP V1501 (so may be the Penglaizhen or Suining Formation), UCMP 32102 may derive from the Shangshaximiao Formation.  Dong et al. (1983) listed it as deriving from that formation, perhaps using the same logic although they did not describe any explanation.
Camp (1935) initially referred the specimen to Megalosauridae because histology "shows quite definitely that the relationship of the Chinese form is with Allosaurus" instead of Tyrannosaurus.  However, the plate shows this is because the sampled section of Tyrannosaurus femur (labeled AMNH 5886, but this is the Anatotitan paratype, and it is more probably Dynamosaurus holotype AMNH 5866 that is known to be histologically sampled) is composed of secondary osteons, while those of Allosaurus and UCMP 32102 are fibrolamellar bone.  Yet Allosaurus can develop secondary osteons where bone is redeveloped as well (e.g. MHNG GEPI V2567a), so this isn't a real difference between these taxa.  While Camp wrote "a projection of the borders would indicate an original total length of at least 90 mm" for the tooth, he also repeated Osborn's 1906 statement that Tyrannosaurus (CM 9380 and NHMUK R7994) teeth are up to 125 mm, which includes the root.  Combined with his statement the serrated distal carina "reaches the base of the enamel" and serrations are not illustrated on the most basal section, the actual crown length would have been about 69 mm.  Similarly, Camp wrote "At the base it is 17 mm. in longest diameter", but scaling the figured tooth to the stated preserved length of 60 mm results in a FABL of 22 mm instead.  Young (1942) later wrote "The general structure of [Szechuanosaurus campi syntype] V236 with the way of serrations fits so well with the Junghsien tooth, we feel that there is practically no doubt in regarding them as identical" "and prefer to consider the Junghsien tooth as belonging also to the new form" Szechuanosaurus.  This despite previously stating UCMP 32102 "is bigger and straighter than all" Szechuanosaurus syntype teeth.  Compared to Sinraptor dongi and Szechuanosaurus, UCMP 32102 is larger (~69 vs. up to 63 vs. ~32 and ~47 mm), with a much greater crown height/base ratio (~314% vs. up to 244% vs. ~224% and ~267%), making it less tapered.  The crown section is similar to Allosaurus' fourth dentary tooth and the mid crown ratio of 53% is similar to dentary teeth in S. dongi and between S. campi IVPP V238B and 238C.  As in mesial teeth of S. dongi, the crown is slightly lingually curved and the mesial carina does not reach the crown base.  The same serration densities (mesial 15 per 5 mm, distal 6.7-10 per 5 mm) can be found in S. dongi as well, but are lower than S. campi (distal ~12-19 per 5 mm).  Dong et al. (1983) wrote "Camp's description and the dentition size suggests it may be assignable to Yangchuanosaurus", but it is larger than even the magnus type (up to 75 mm), and more elongate than the largest maxillary teeth of the genotype (crown height/base ratio of 267%), but detailed dental statistics of the genus have yet to be published.  The femoral fragment is notably large, Camp stating the shaft has "an enormous hollow cavity about 125 mm. in the longest diameter of its ellipse. The greatest diameter of this segment at its narrowest point is 20 cm."  Based on the absence of a fourth trochanter or medial narrowing, the section is just distal to the former structure.  Here large theropod femoral shafts are wider than deep, so 200 mm would be the width and the figured depth is then ~143 mm.  Scaling from the largest metriacanthosaurid, Yangchuanosaurus magnus, results in a femoral length of ~1.33 meters, not far from Camp's "estimated total length of about 140 cm."  The ischium "consists of a moderately hollow shaft spreading into a broader, solid plate", which could describe most non-maniraptoran ischia, while the "tip of a large rib" is not described.  Notably, the ischium was found 37 meters from the other material, so its association is less certain.
Given the above information, UCMP 32102 is different from the Szechuanosaurus syntypes and anteriorly straighter than Sinraptor as well, and is perhaps the largest known Jurassic theropod.  As no characters are outside the range of ceratosaurids, it is considered Averostra incertae sedis here.

Finally, I've been translating He (1984), so here's that publication's supposed Szechuanosaurus-

unnamed Tetanurae (He, 1984)
Bathonian-Callovian, Middle Jurassic
Hexi Commune, Shangshaximiao Formation, Sichuan, China
Material- (CUT coll; = CCG coll) (multiple individuals) many teeth (~63 mm), anterior cervical centrum (~68 mm; immature; Fig. 6-16, Pl. X Fig. 3), mid cervical vertebra (~69 mm; Fig. 6-17), tenth cervical centrum (immature; Fig. 6-19a), ~second dorsal centrum (~55 mm; immature?; Pl. X Fig. 4), incomplete ~fourth dorsal vertebra (Fig. 6-19b), mid dorsal centrum (immature; Fig. 6-19c), more than forty caudal vertebrae including proximal caudal vertebra (Fig. 6-19d) and distal caudal vertebra (~70 mm; Pl. X Fig. 5), incomplete coracoid (~98 mm proximodistally), humerus (265 mm), ischium (~356 mm), femur, tibia (~730 mm), fibula (~709 mm) and unguals
Comments- He (1984) states that in 1964, 1979 and 1980 in Chengdu the institute (= CUT) "conducted systematic collections in Hexi Commune (near Huomu Station) in the suburbs of Qingyuan City, including many carnosaur specimens, including many teeth, cervical vertebrae, dorsal vertebrae, more than forty caudal vertebrae, complete ischium, femur, tibia and fibula, as well as relatively complete humerus, coracoid and claws." (translated)  He referred these to Szechuanosaurus campi because the syntypes were also found in the suburbs of Guangyuan and believed to be from the Shangshaximiao Formation based on faunal similarities and fossil abundance, "there is no significant difference in shape and size" between S. campi and the Hexi teeth, and "there is no evidence of the existence of two or more carnosaurs" from that horizon.  However, the teeth of S. campihave not been shown to be diagnostic within e.g. Metriacanthosauridae, multiple taxa with megalosaur-grade teeth are now known from the Shangshaximiao (Leshansaurus, Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis, Sinraptor hepingensis), and S. campi itself may be from the Penglaizhen Formation or slightly lower Shuining Formation instead.  Furthermore, He notes "that the tooth size in this batch of Szechuanosaurus campi material we collected is quite varied, which means that in addition to the differences in individual size, there may also be immature specimens, because some vertebral centra and neural arches are unfused. The largest individual is comparable to the type of Yanchuanosaurus shangyouensis [sic], and the smallest individual is estimated to be only 4-5 meters in length."  Thus multiple individuals and perhaps multiple taxa are involved, with only the tibia and fibula in Plate X Figures 8-10 being claimed to be from one individual.  Note while Chure (2000) mentioned a metatarsal as being in this material, He does not indicate as such and Chure might have mistaken Plate X Figure 6 which is a humerus.  Indeed, Chure seems not to have translated the text so understates the preserved vertebral number and misses the reference to unguals.  Yang et al. (2021) later describe the humeral histology, noting their Szechuanosaurus specimen is from Hexi and citing He's paper.  This paper confirms the material "contains several incomplete individuals with large differences in size" (translated), that "The specimen is currently preserved in the Museum of Chengdu University of Technology" and that it was recovered from the Shangshaximiao Formation at the same locality as Mamenchisaurus "guangyuanensis".  "One of the medium-sized individuals was recovered, mounted and exhibited", which is photographed in their Figure 2, although it cannot be determined what material is real and what is plaster.
This material was originally referred to Megalosauridae by He (1984) based on tetanurine plesiomorphies (large teeth, short presacral vertebrae, distally expanded ischium), while Chure (2000) placed it in non-avetheropod Tetanurae based on the supposed lack of a posterodistal coracoid process and subglenoid fossa, although Figure 6-18 of He clearly shows both.  Although Chure believes the information available in the literature "make(s) it impossible to refer this material to any family" and considered it indeterminate, the figures and plates suggest otherwise.  Among Late Jurassic theropods, the slightly opisthocoelous cervicals are only known in piatnitzkysaurids and coelurosaurs, with the long and low neural spines being unlike most contemporary non-coelurosaur theropods, meaning the mid cervical vertebra at least is not megalosauroid or carnosaurian.  Similarly, the large coracoid tubercle is unlike basal tetanurines and more similar to ceratosaurs or coelurosaurs, although lacking the hypertrophied size of the former.  As suggested by Chure, the ischium does resemble Megalosaurus in the ventral kink of the shaft and boot morphology, although it is much more robust, thus a referral to Leshansaurus is plausible.  The tibia on the other hand is more similar to Sinraptor in the anteroposteriorly short proximal end and anteroposterior compression distally, so may be metriacanthosaurid.  Based on this brief comparison, the material deserves restudy and probably represents multiple tetanurine taxa.
