abstract:Technosaurus (TEK-no-SAWR-us) (meaning "(Texas) Tech lizard") is an extinct genus of Late Triassic archosauriform, perhaps a dinosauriform similar to Silesaurus, from the Norian age Upper Triassic Bull Canyon Formation (Dockum Group) of Texas. For about 20 years after its description, it was thought to be a basal ornithischian dinosaur, but better remains of other Triassic archosaurs have cast doubt on this interpretation.
