Lusitanosaurus (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lusitanosaurus (meaning "Portuguese lizard") is a genus of basal thyreophoran dinosaur from the Early Jurassic of Portugal.The genus was first described by Albert-F lix de Lapparent and Georges Zbyszewski in 1957. The type species is Lusitanosaurus liasicus. The generic name is derived from Lusitania, the ancient Latin name for the region. The specific name refers to the Lias. The holotype is part of the collection of the Museu de Hist ria Natural da Universidade de Lisboa. The exact location of the find and the date of collection are unknown, which makes a correct geological dating difficult, but it can be inferred from the matrix rock that it has been discovered near S o Pedro de Moel, in strata from the Sinemurian (Early Jurassic).
