Bugenasaura infernalis
Info
Bugenasaura infernalis (Galton, 1995) >> Thescelosaurus garbanii (Morris, 1976)
5 posterior cervical and 11 anterior dorsal vertebrae, left pes, tarsus, tibia, fibula, and distal part of femur. Galton didn\\\'t synonymise the next two for two reasons.
First, is that there is substantial skeleton for Bugenasaura missing, and it is just plain improper to asign a head to an animal only known from a leg. Secondly, and most importantly, Galton notes that Thescelosaurus garbanii could very well belong to Stygimoloch spinifer which is also the right size and legless.
