Asiamericana
ay-zhee-oh-am-er-ih-KAY-nah /ˌeɪʒioʊˌæmərɪˈkeɪnə/
Nomen dubium
Asian-American
- Asia · Latin/Greek · Asia, where the fossils were found
- americana · Latin · American, from America
The name combines "Asia" and "americana" (American). It refers to the fact that the Central Asian teeth it was based on resemble teeth from North America, so the name links the two continents.
- Found in
- Central Asia (Uzbekistan)
Based only on isolated teeth, usually regarded as a spinosaurid theropod. The material is too fragmentary to be diagnostic, so the genus is generally treated as a nomen dubium. I am not certain of the authorship, year or exact age, so those fields are left blank.
