Segisaurus was a small (approximately 1 metre long) theropod dinosaur. It was discovered in 1933 in early Jurassic strata in Segi Canyon, Arizona, for which it was named. The fragmentary fossil skeleton consisted of portions of the limbs, pelvis, and vertebrae, but no cranial material was located. Segisaurus appears to have been closely related to the much more well-known Coelophysis. One distinction, however, was that Segisaurus had solid bones, while Coelophysis' were hollow.
