I've heard both rauisuchian and herrerasaurid, but the former was at least in part due to the ventrally angled sacral ribs, which is only found in Erythrosuchus and some suchians in Nesbitt's matrix.Mickey Mortimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831823442911513851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248412803814730250.post-84356211382840073062011-05-07T22:02:01.615-07:002011-05-07T22:02:01.615-07:00I've heard that Dzik (2003) considered Spondyl...I've heard that Dzik (2003) considered Spondylosoma a silesaurid.

The size shape of vertebra -13 to 14 centimeters (about 5 inches) long.- indicates that Dinosaurus was large and may have been heavily built.

It was a large theropod possibly belonging to the Abelisauridae.<br /><br />Its fossils, consisting of six caudal vertebrae, together forming type specimens GSI IM K20/334, 609, K27/549, 601, 602 and 626, were found in India in the Lameta Formation of the Maastrichtian. The vertebrae, originally falsely identified as dorsals, are thirteen to fourteen centimetres long. These remains are today commonly considered to be indistinguishable from those of other theropods from the same formation. As a result, Dryptosauroides is seen as a nomen dubium.<br /><br />The type species, Dryptosauroides grandis, was named by Friedrich von Huene in 1932 and described by von Huene and Charles Alfred Matley in 1933. The specific name means "large" in Latin.<br /><br />References<br /><br />Wikipedia<br /><br />Huene, F. von, 1932, Die fossile Reptil-Ordnung Saurischia: ihre Entwicklung und Geschichte.
