Binomial name
† Carnufex carolinensis Zanno et al. , 2015
Carnufex et al. , who named the binomial Carnufex carolinensis [1] Two specimens are known, the holotype skull and skeleton NCSM 21558, and the referred humerus NCSM 21623.[2] The specimens are from the Carnian-age Pekin Formation, which dates to 231 million years ago. Based on the holotype, Carnufex would have been about 3 m (9.8 ft) long and 1.5 m (4.9 ft) tall,[3] although it may have gotten larger due to the holotype not being fully grown.
