Valid genera

Invalid and potentially valid genera

• Angaturama limai: Only known from the tip of the snout. It may belong to the contemporary Irritator, but it could also represent its own taxon.
• "Bayosaurus pubica": An abelisaurid known from partial postcranial remains.
• Oxalaia quilombensis: Potentially a junior synonym of Spinosaurus.
• "Ubirajara jubatus": Known from a single specimen that preserves impressions of feathers, including display feathers on its sides. Its description was retracted before it could be published due to allegations that the specimen was illegally exported from Brazil.
