Stellasaurus

star lizard (probable)

• stella · Latin · star
• sauros · Greek · lizard

The name appears to combine Latin "stella" (star) with Greek "sauros" (lizard), giving "star lizard". I'm not certain what the name was meant to refer to, so I haven't stated a reason for it.

I recall Stellasaurus as an unofficial or unavailable name (nomen nudum) for a Late Cretaceous horned dinosaur (centrosaurine ceratopsian) from the Two Medicine Formation of Montana. I'm not confident about this status, the author, the year, or which valid genus it may relate to, so those fields are left blank. Please check a specialist source before relying on it.
