Gasosaurus was a tetanuran dinosaur discovered in Dashanpu, China. The scientific name, meaning "Gas Lizard", honours the gasoline company that found the Dashanpu fossil quarry in Sichuan Province. It had strong legs but short arms, and powerful jaws indicate that it was a carnivore. It measured between 3.5 and 4 metres in length and 1.3m in height, with a weight of around 150kg, placing it in the midrange of carnivores by size. However, some estimates put its weight as high as 400kg, as very little is known about this dinosaur. It lived during Bathonian and Callovian periods (mid-late Jurassic), around 164 million years ago. By analogy with other tetanurans, it probably hunted in packs.
Gotcha! : P

I agree, very disappointing choice of name. Someone was suffering from a serious lack of imagination.

Well, if they were alive today they would probably resent the name but, you must admit, it's much better than Pooposaurus.
