Fulgurotherium (meaning "Thunder Beast")is a nomen dubium("Doubtful Name"). Friedrich Von Huene called it an ornithomimid, then other scientists called it a hypsilophodont. It was based on multiple fossils from Dinosaur Cove including a femur. This led confusion of different classifications and species on one or numerous dinosaurs.

Fulgurotherium was also based on some material from Lightning Ridge (hence the name, which is actually 'lightning beast'; 'thunder beast' would be Brontotherium). Von Huene seems to have had a thing for describing dinosaurs from crappy remains-aside from Fulgurotherium he named Walgettosuchus and Rapator, based on single bones, and only Rapator is not regarded as a nomen dubium. Which kind of sucks because Fulgurotherium and Walgettosuchus are some of my favourite dinosaur names.
