Iinyani ezimnandi
Cetarthrosaurus lived about 100 million years ago, at the end of the Early Cretaceous period.3
Only one fossil of Cetarthrosaurus has been found, a single femur (thigh bone).2
The fossil was discovered by J. F. Walker near a railway bridge at Ditton, northeast of Cambridge.2
The femur bone was worn and rolled, like a bone tumbled on a beach, before it was buried.2
The name Cetarthrosaurus means 'joint-tail lizard', referring to its tail bones.1

- Cetarthrosaurus was named by Harry G. Seeley in 1873. The only known fossil, a femur, was found by J. F. Walker in the Cambridge Greensand near Ditton, England.12
- Kusaxoxwa ngayo
- Scientists are not sure exactly how big Cetarthrosaurus was, because only one leg bone has been found.2
