abstract:Loricatosaurus (meaning "armored lizard") is a genus of stegosaurid dinosaur from Callovian-age (Middle Jurassic) rocks of England and France. It is known from remains previously assigned to Lexovisaurus; however, upon review of the material, Susannah Maidment and colleagues determined that Lexovisaurus was based upon nondiagnostic remains, and coined a new genus for the other specimens.
