Type Species: Leonerasaurus taquetrensis
Classification: Dinosauria - Saurischia – Prosauropoda
Time Period: Late Triassic or Early Jurassic
Location: Argentina
Diet: Herbivore
Leonerasaurus was an unusually small prosauropod from Argentina. It’s been dated to the Late Triassic or Early Jurassic (the exact dating of the rock formation is in question). It’s known from a single subadult specimen that would’ve grown to about seven and a half feet head-to-tail and reached about three feet in height. Though most of its anatomy is solidly like those of prosauropod, its teeth share a mixture of sauropod and prosauropod characteristics: while its teeth are spoon-shaped like those of more derived sauropods, the surface texture is more similar to that of most prosauropods.
