Ornithopsis
Extinct genus of dinosaurs / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ornithopsis (meaning "bird-likeness") is a genus of sauropod dinosaur, from the Early Cretaceous of England. The type species, which is the only species seen as valid today, is O. hulkei, which is only known from fragmentary remains, and has been regarded by many authors as dubious.[5]
