Lessemsaurus is an extinct genus of sauropod dinosaur belonging to Lessemsauridae.

Naming and description

The type species, L. sauropoides, was formally described by José Fernando Bonaparte in 1999 in honor of Don Lessem, a writer of popular science books. It was found in the Los Colorados Formation of the Ischigualasto-Villa Unión Basin in La Rioja Province, Argentina.[1]

This dinosaur was around {{convert|9|m|ft}} long and was discovered in strata dating to the Norian stage, around 210 million years ago.[2][3]

Classification

In 2018, Apaldetti et al. recovered it as part of a clade they named Lessemsauridae, after Lessemsaurus. Their cladogram is reproduced below:[4]
