Chingkankousaurus (named for Ch'ing-kang-kou, sic for Wade–Giles Chin1-kang1-k'ou3, pinyin Jin-gang-kou 'diamond port' Шаблон:Zh village) is a genus of theropod dinosaur containing the single species Chingkankousaurus fragilis.[1][2] C. fragilis is known only from a single fossilized bone fragment (specimen number IVPP V836) from the late Cretaceous Period Wangshi Series of Shandong province in eastern China.[1]

Description

Chingkankousaurus was identified by Yang Zhongjian (C.C. Young) in 1958 from a single "scapula",[1] which he said "basically resembles that of Allosaurus but is smaller." It had been proposed that the scapula was a rib or gastralia fragment, but this was considered unlikely in a 2013 study. Molnar et al. (1990) thought the scapula may have belonged to a tyrannosaurid. Chure (2001) assigned it to the Coelurosauria, and more recent research has supported the initial identification as a type of tyrannosauroid, with some even arguing it to be a synonym of Tarbosaurus bataar,[3] though it is currently considered a nomen dubium among that group.[2]
