Magnamanus

big hand

• magna · Latin · great, large
• manus · Latin · hand

The name combines the Latin words "magna" (great or large) and "manus" (hand), so it means "big hand". It most likely refers to a large hand or forelimb feature of the fossil material.

Period

Early Cretaceous

Found in

Soria Province, Spain

I recall this name as an Early Cretaceous dinosaur from Soria, Spain (type species M. soriaensis). I'm not sure of the author, year, taxonomic status or exact stage, so I've left those fields empty. The Latin roots are straightforward, but the specific reason for the name is inferred rather than confirmed. Please check the original publication.
