It's a tooth, probably from a cetiosaurid, mentioned by Delair and Sarjeant (2002). Like 'Scrotum humanum' (the famously 'well-hung' megalosaur) I doubt 'Rutellum impicatum' qualifies as an official binomen. _Epidendrosaurus_/_Scansoriopteryx_ was named in 2002. Due to its weirdness (though it seems less weird now, or at least weird for different reasons), it was one of the more newsworthy fossil discoveries of that year.... taking nothing away from _Incisivosaurus_, _Sinovenator_, _Anabisetia_, _Liaoceratops_, etc.
