Mmmm... dinosaurs in dark suits and sunglasses, with earpieces.

Just stop for a minute and visualise that image.

The best candidate for the secret saurus would be the genus Cryptosaurus ("hidden lizard"), a type of ankylosaur first described by Seeley in 1869. It remains very secret and hidden to this day, as the entire genus is known only from a single femur bone. The genus was renamed Cryptodraco ("hidden dragon") by Lydekker in 1889, when he thought that Cryptosaurus had already been assigned to a genus of lizard, but this was a mistake caused by a typo, so the name Cryptosaurus was reinstated. Clearly some sort of cover-up was at work.

There's also Cryptoclidus, a genus of plesiosaur, which was also first described by Seeley, in 1892. Coincidence?? I think not...
