Xingtianosaurus

Xingtian lizard

• Xingtian · Chinese · name of a headless giant in Chinese mythology (possibly the intended reference; unverified)
• sauros · Greek · lizard

The name appears to combine "Xingtian" with the Greek "sauros" (lizard). I could not confirm what Xingtian refers to. It may be the headless giant of Chinese myth, or a place or person. Treat this etymology as tentative.

I am not confident about this name. I recall it as a Chinese dinosaur genus, but I can't verify its author, year, age, locality or taxonomic status. It may be a nomen nudum or have doubtful status. Please check a primary source before relying on it.
