What are these dinosaurs?
While perusing the Dinosauricon, I noticed a few names that are apparently
nomina nuda and very old. What's the deal with-
Proiguanodon van der Broek, 1900
Protrachodon Nopsca 1923
Tyreophorus Huene 1929
Also, does anyone know if the following are prosauropods or sauropods-
Dachongosaurus Chao 1985
Damalasaurus magnus/laticollis Chao 1986
Lancanjiangosaurus Chao 1983
Megacervixosaurus Chao 1983
Microdontosaurus Chao 1983
Perhaps someone has seen a skeleton in a Chinese museum (I know they are
fond of doing this before the specimen is described) or heard something
about what exactly they are based on, where/when they are from and what they
appear to be.
