HALTICOSAURUS
(nimble reptile)
Halticosaurus liliensterni (von Huene, 1934) is
synonymous
with Liliensternus liliensterni. H. longotarsus (von Huene, 1908) is a
nomen dubium
. It is known from a
mandibular
fragment,
vertebra
e,
humerus
,
ilium
,
femur
and
metatarsal
found in late
Triassic
(Norian) Germany and was originally classified as a
coelurosaur
or
ceratosaur
of about 3 - 6 m (10 - 20 ft) in length. H. orbitoangulatus (von Huene, 1932)
is probably a
theropod
and should be renamed. Some workers consider Halticosaurus as a valid
genus
in its own right.
