which the Genus is named
Superficially
quite similar to Kentrosaurus, this early stegosaurine is a
more closely related to Stegosaurus. It has large thin plates,
and spines on the hip. In view of the time difference i is unlikely
that the fragmentary Kimmeridgian material belongs to the same
species as the Callovian material
Lexovisaurus durobrivensis
Remains:
3 partial postcrania, skeletal elements (juvenile to adult)
