Noasauridae

Noasauridae

A postcranial skeleton that is relatively well preserved, including hindlimbs and partial forelimbs as well as part of the tail, was erected as Deltradomeus agilis by Sereno et al. (1996). However, the assignment of this taxon to noasaurid theropods occurred only in later phylogenetic analyses (e.g. Sereno et al. 2004) and the phylogenetic position of this taxon remains under debate. Evans et al. (2015) described a well-preserved femur from south-east Taouz, which could possibly belong to Deltradomeus. Another noasaurid occurrence was presented by Smyth et al. (2020a), based on an isolated cervical vertebra.
