Nigersaurus Nigersaurus is a genus of rebbachisaurid sauropod dinosaur that lived during the middle Cretaceous period, about 115 to 105 million years ago. It was discovered in the Elrhaz Formation in an area called Gadoufaoua, in the Republic of Niger.

Yibinosaurus "Yibinosaurus" (meaning "Yibin lizard") is the informal name given to an as yet undescribed genus of herbivorous dinosaur from the Early Jurassic. It was a sauropod which lived in what is now Sichuan, China. The suggested "type species", "Yibinosaurus zhoui", has not been formally described yet, but the formal publication is forthcoming, from Chinese paleontologist Ouyang Hui. "Yibinosaurus" was only briefly mentioned in the Chongqing Natural History Museum guidebook (2001) and is thus a "nomen nudum".

Yaguarasaurus Yaguarasaurus is an extinct genus of mosasauroid from the Late Cretaceous (Turonian) period of Colombia, South America. The remains discovered (an articulated skull, some vertebrae and ribs) were defined as a new genus and species of mosasaurid, "Yaguarasaurus columbianus", by the Colombian paleontologist María Páramo, former director of the Museo de Geología José Royo y Gómez of INGEOMINAS in Bogotá. The first fossils remains of this animal suggested a cranial length of 47 cm and a total length of 5 m ; an additional skull that measures 87 cm long implies a larger size.

Petrobrasaurus Petrobrasaurus is a genus of herbivorous sauropod dinosaur. It is a titanosaur which lived during the upper Cretaceous period (Santonian age) in what is now Rincón de los Sauces, Patagonia, Argentina. It is known from the holotype MAU-Pv-PH-449 — a partial disarticulated skeleton recovered from the Plottier Formation (Neuquén Basin), Argentina. This genus was named by Leonardo S. Filippi, José Ignacio Canudo, Leonardo J. Salgado, Alberto C. Garrido, Rodolfo A. Garcia, Ignacio A. Cerda and Alejandro Otero in 2011, and the type species is "Petrobrasaurus puestohernandezi". The generic name is derived from "Petrobras" (oil company) and "saurus", "lizard". The specific name refers to the Puesto Hernández oil field, where the fossil remains were found.

Sugiyamasaurus "Sugiyamasaurus" (meaning "Sugiyama lizard") is the informal name given to an as yet undescribed genus of dinosaur known only from a few spatulate teeth. It was a sauropod, possibly a camarasaurid, which lived in Japan during the Late Cretaceous. The name was first printed by David Lambert in 1990 in the "Dinosaur Data Book", and also appears in Lambert's "Ultimate Dinosaur Book" and in many on-line lists of dinosaurs. Since it has not been formally described, "Sugiyamasaurus" is a "nomen nudum". Its remains were found near Katsuyama City.

Maxakalisaurus Maxakalisaurus is a genus of aeolosaurid dinosaur, found in Brazil, 45 km from the city of Prata, in the state of Minas Gerais in 1998. It was related to "Saltasaurus", a sauropod considered unusual because it had evolved apparently defensive traits, including bony plates on its skin and vertical plates along its spine; such osteoderms have also been found for "Maxakalisaurus". The genus name is derived from the tribe of the Maxakali; Topa is one of their divinities.

Breviparopus Breviparopus (ichnotype B. taghbaloutensis) is the name given to an ichnogenus of dinosaur, having been made by an unknown genus of sauropod. As an ichnogenus, the taxon is represented by (and named for) a 90-metre (295 ft) long series of fossil tracks, or ichnites, found in the spring of 1979 in the Atlas Mountains of present-day Morocco. At the time, this area would have been part of the splitting Gondwana supercontinent.The animal that produced the "Breviparopus" tracks is rumored to be one of the largest dinosaurs, though its exact size has been the subject of much debate.

It is one of two species in the genus "Tympanoctomys". That species is endemic to Chubut Province in the central western Argentina, where it has a fragmented range. Its natural habitat is desert scrubland, dunes and salt flats, where it eats halophyte plants. It is a solitary, nocturnal rodent that constructs large mounds with complex burrows. The species was named in honor if both Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and Néstor Kirchner, presidents of Argentina.

Balochisaurus Balochisaurus (meaning "Balochi lizard", for the Baloch tribes of Pakistan) is a genus of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Pakistan. The type species is "B. malkani". The discovery was made (along with other dinosaur specimens) near Vitariki by a team of paleontologists from the Geological Survey of Pakistan. Formally described in 2006 by M.S. Malkani, the genus is based on seven tail vertebrae found in the Maastrichtian-age Vitakri Member of the Pab Formation, with additional vertebrae and a partial skull assigned to it. The author erected the family-level name Balochisauridae for "Balochisaurus", but it remains to be seen if this family will receive widespread acceptance.

Triunfosaurus Triunfosaurus (meaning "Triunfo Basin reptile") is a genus of somphospondylan sauropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Brazil. It contains a single species, T. leonardii, described by Carvalho "et al." in 2017. As a genus, "Triunfosaurus" can be distinguished from all other titanosaurs by the unique proportions of its ischium. It was initially described as a basal titanosaur, making it the earliest basal titanosaur known; however, subsequent research questioned the identification of the taxon as a titanosaur, instead reassigning it to the Somphospondyli.

Pakisaurus Pakisaurus (meaning "Pakistan lizard") is an unofficially named genus of titanosaurian sauropod from the Late Cretaceous of Balochistan, western Pakistan. The type species is proposed to be P. balochistani, and it was mentioned by M. Sadiq Malkani in 2006, based on four tail vertebrae, found in the Maastrichtian-age Vitakri Member of the Pab Formation. Three additional tail vertebrae have been assigned to it. The author erected the family-level name Pakisauridae for "Pakisaurus", but it remains to be seen if this family will receive widespread acceptance.

The type species, "Ligabuesaurus leanzai", was described by Jose Bonaparte, Gonzalez Riga, and Sebastián Apesteguía in 2006, based on a partial skeleton. The specific name, "leanzai", is dedicated to the geologist Dr. Héctor A. Leanza, who discovered the skeleton.
