Fabrosaurus
''Fabrosaurus'' ( ; meaning "Fabre's lizard" in honor of Jean Fabre, a French geologist and a colleague of Ginsburg on the expedition that collected the fossil in Basutoland, Southern Africa ; Greek ''sauros'' "lizard")) was a genus of herbivorous dinosaur which lived during the Early Jurassic (Hettangian to Sinemurian stages 199 - 189 mya).
''Fabrosaurus'' was named by paleontologist Leonard Ginsburg in 1964 based on partial jawbone with three teeth.〔 The type species, ''F. australis'', was named for the location of the fossils in Lesotho, Southern Africa (''australis'' being Latin for "southern").
Subsequent discoveries included two crushed skulls and disarticulated post-cranial bones (including vertebrae, ribs, and limb bones), allowing for a more complete reconstruction.〔Thulborn, R. A. (1970). (The skull of ''Fabrosaurus australis'', a Triassic ornithischian dinosaur ). Palaeontology, 13(3), 414-432.〕〔Thulborn, R. A. (1972). (The post-cranial skeleton of the Triassic ornithischian dinosaur ''Fabrosaurus australis'' ). Palaeontology, 15(1), 29-60.〕 However, as additional ornithischian fossils were discovered, the features of ''F. australis'' were thought to be shared by other species, and by the 1990s and 2000s most authors working with the group found ''Fabrosaurus'' to be a ''nomen dubium'' (doubtful name), finding the holotype material described by Ginsburg to be insufficient to distinguish a new taxon. Some claim the fossils represent simple variation of ''Lesothosaurus'', which is regarded as valid.
