Discovery of Wakinosaurus

In 1990, Masahiro Sato in Fukuoka found the tooth of a theropod dinosaur. The same year, Yoshihiko Okazaki first reported on the find.[2] In 1992, Okazaki named the type species, Wakinosaurus satoi. The generic name refers to the Wakino Subgroup of the Kwanmon Group, of which the Sengoku Formation is a member. The specific name honours Sato.[3]
