Avalonianus
text:
Avalonianus is a highly dubious and possibly invalid genus of archosaur from the Late Triassic Westbury Formation of England. It was first described in 1898 by Harry Seeley with the name Avalonia, but that name was preoccupied, so Oskar Kuhn renamed it in 1961, albeit with no epithet. It was thought to be a prosauropod, but later analysis revealed it was actually a chimera, with the original teeth coming from a non-dinosaurian ornithosuchian, and later-referred post-cranial prosauropod remains.
