Anomalipes

Anomalipes is an extinct genus of caenagnathid oviraptorosaurian dinosaurs known from the Late Cretaceous Wangshi Group of China. The genus contains a single species, Anomalipes zhaoi, known from a partial hindlimb.

Discovery and naming

The remains of Anomalipes were discovered within a Shantungosaurus bonebed at the Kugou locality.
The holotype is an incomplete left hind-limb, including a partial left thigh, shin and shank, a complete metatarsal III and two toe bones.
The genus name Anomalipes is derived from the Latin anomalus and pes, referring to the unusual shape of its foot. The specific name, zhaoi, was named in honour of Zhao Xijin.
