Cruxicheiros is a megalosaurid theropod from the Middle Jurassic of England (type species C. newmanorum). I am not certain of the author, year, exact formation or the reason for the name, so I have left those fields blank. The name parts are my best reading of the roots. Please check them against the original description.
