Nedcolbertia

Nedcolbertia is a genus of theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Period of North America.

Three skeletons of a theropod were discovered in 1993 by Christopher Whittle near Cisco in the basal Yellow Cat Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation of Utah, dating to the Valanginian.

The generic name honours the American palaeontologist Edwin Harris Colbert, known as "Ned" to his friends.

The specific name honoured Justin Hofmann, a six-year-old school boy from Newton, New Jersey, a participant of a contest for children by Discover Card, the winner having a dinosaur named after him.

[3] In 2024, Cau suggested that Nedcolbertia possibly belongs to Allosauroidea, but included this taxon within Megalosauroidea in his phylogenetic analysis instead.
