Camposaurus
Camposaurus was a coelophysoid dinosaur from the Late Triassic that lived in North America. It is said to differ from other coelophysoids in having a fused tibio-tarsals and fibula-tarsal.
The type species, Camposaurus arizonensis, was formally described by Hunt, Lucas, Heckert, and Lockely in 1998. It is a nomen dubium, based on partial leg bones and other material assigned to the genus. As the species name suggests, it was found in Arizona, in the United States. It was similar to and may actually have been a species of Coelophysis.
