Does anyone have any clue what Bahariasaurus, Deltadromeus and Sigilmassasaurus are? (i consider Sgilmassasaurus a bahariasaur)
I mean, some sources say abelisaur, some coelourosaur, some noasaurid (i know, abelisaur  ^-^)
Do you guys have ideas? I want to illustrate them all..

Takama

The only one of those Dino's that i heard of was Deltadromeus.

It was a large Ceratosaur with unusually long legs that lived in Africa during the late Cretaceous period.  The skull of it is also unknown

Thats all i know of it. I have no clue about those other dinos :-[

Yutyrannus

Deltadromaeus is a noasaurid. Also Bahariosaurus and Deltadromaeus are probably the same thing.

I knew that they were probably the same thing and a ceratosaur, but, I can't help but find it odd that a noasaur that barely resembled a noasaur was a noasaur and was WAY bigger than the rest. Man, I'll now do some research.

The reason why there is confusion is probably because the animals in question are pretty fragmentary and scientists classify them only the best they can.  It makes me think of the situation cryolophosaurus- some say its a ceratosaur some say its a very early member of tetanurae.

We don't really have enough of the skeleton to say if they looked like noasaurs or not. Minus the skull, what would you say a noasaur looks like? Some have even suggested they were related to Limusaurus and were giant, toothless herbivores. They're too fragmentary to know either way.

yeah, I've heard the Limusaurus or Elaphrosaur thing. Maybe I'll try that.
