Inosaurus is the name given to a dubious genus of dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous. Only partial fossils have ever been found.
The type (and only known) species is Inosaurus tedreftensis, described by de Lapparent in 1960. It is considered nomen dubium because of the partial nature of the fossils that were recovered, and because the fossils were recovered from three different locations, leading to worries that this dinosaur is a chimera, based on multiple species or even genera.
