Geranosaurus: History, Art & Regions

Geranosaurus is a genus of heterodontosaurid ornithischian dinosaur that lived during the Early Jurassic, between 191.1 and 187.5 million years ago. It is known from a single species, G. atavus, that was named in 1911 by Robert Broom for partial jaws found during road-cutting in South Africa.
