Sacisaurus is a silesaurid dinosauriform from the Late Triassic (Norian) Cooper Canyon Formation of western Texas.
Taphonomy
The Soumyasaurus holotype was found in association with other specimens catalogued under TTU P-11254, including a specimen of Vancleavea (TTU P-11254a), indeterminate archosauromorph remains (TTU P-11254c-e), and remains indeterminate beyond Sauria (TTU P-11254f-i). Because a Shuvosaurus posterior jaw bone was found together with the holotype premaxilla and dentary of Technosaurus, it is apparent that the remains labelled TTU P-11254 were brought together in association by taphonomic agents.[1]
