Dandakosaurus (meaning "Dandakaranya lizard") is a genus of theropod dinosaur from Andhra Pradesh, India. It lived 183 - 175 million years ago in the Toarcian, Early Jurassic. It is currently classified as Averostra incertae sedis, variously suggested to be a ceratosaur or basal tetanuran.[1][2]
The type species, D. indicus, was named by Yadagiri in 1982.[1] Little is known about the genus, as the only fossil evidence is a partial pubis - some paleontologists consider it to be a nomen dubium.
