Herrerasaurus2

"Likhoelesaurus" (meaning "Li Khole lizard") is the name given to an as yet undescribed genus of dinosaur (or rauisuchian) from the Late Triassic of what is now South Africa.

The name was coined by Ellenberger in 1972 (or 1970), and the "type species" is "Likhoelesaurus ingens". It is named after the town where the fossils were found. The only fossils recovered have been teeth, from the late Carnian-early Norian-age Lower Elliot Formation. If it were a dinosaur, it would have been either a sauropod a theropod.
