Therosaurus

beast lizard

• ther · Greek · beast, wild animal
• sauros · Greek · lizard

The name appears to combine the Greek "ther" (wild beast) with "sauros" (lizard), giving "beast lizard". I could not reliably confirm the author's stated reason for choosing the name, so this is the likely literal reading of the roots.

I am not certain of the details for this name. I believe it is an obscure, doubtful genus, possibly named by Huene in the 1930s, but I could not verify the author, year, age, locality or current status. Those fields are left blank rather than guessed. Please check a specialist database before relying on this entry.
