Kelumapusaura (meaning "red earth lizard") is a genus of saurolophine hadrosaur from the Late Cretaceous Allen Formation in what is now Patagonia in Argentina. The type and only species is K. machi, known from a bonebed of various individuals.[1]
Etymology
The generic name, "Kelumapusaura," combines "kelumapu," the Mapudungun word for "red earth," and the feminine form of the Greek "sauros," meaning "lizard." The specific name, "machi," is derived from a word from the Mapuche people for "shaman."[1]
Description
The describing authors estimate that Kelumapusaura would have been 8 to 9 metres (26 to 30 ft) long.[1]
