Hagryphus (meaning "Ha's griffin") is a monospecific genus of caenagnathid dinosaur from southern Utah that lived during the Late Cretaceous (upper Campanian stage, 75.95 Ma) in what is now the Kaiparowits Formation of the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument.[1] The type and only species, Hagryphus giganteus, is known only from an incomplete but articulated left manus and the distal portion of the left radius.[1] It was named in 2005 by Lindsay E. Zanno and Scott D. Sampson.[1] Hagryphus has an estimated length of 2.4–3 metres (8–10 feet) and weight of 50 kilograms (110 lbs).[1][2]
