Nhandumirim
is a genus of saurischian dinosaur that lived in South America during
the late Triassic. Nhandumirim has been
interpreted both as a
theropod dinosaur by some and a sauropodomorph by others.
Unfortunately the lack of fossil preservation of the holotype
individual makes it hard to be certain which.
