''Gasparinisaura'' (meaning "Gasparini's lizard") is a genus of herbivorous ornithopod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous. The first fossils of ''Gasparinisaura'' were in 1992 found in Argentina, near Cinco Saltos in Río Negro Province. The type species, ''Gasparinisaura cincosaltensis'', was named and described in 1996 by Rodolfo Coria and Leonardo Salgado. The generic name honours Argentine palaeontologist Zulma Brandoni de Gasparini. The specific name refers to Cinco Saltos.〔Coria, R. A., and L. Salgado. (1996). "A basal iguanodontian (Ornithischia: Ornithopoda) from the Late Cretaceous of South America". ''Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology'' 16: 445–457〕 ==Discovery== The holotype, MUCPv-208, was uncovered in a layer of the Anacleto Formation, dating from the early Campanian, about 83 million years old. It consists of a partial skeleton with skull, lacking much of the vertebral column. The paratype is MUCPv-212, a tail with lower hindlimb elements.〔 In 1997 three additional specimens were described: MUCPv 213, a partial skeleton with skull; MCSPv 111, a postcranial skeleton; and MCSPv 112, a skull with hindlimbs and pelvis. The three later specimens represent juvenile individuals.〔Salgado, L., Coria, R.A., and Heredia, S., 1997, "New materials of ''Gasparinisaura cincosaltensis'' (Ornithischia: Ornithopoda) from the Upper Cretaceous of Argentina", ''Journal of Paleontology'' 71: 933–940〕 In 2008 gastroliths present with all three juvenile specimens were described.〔Ignacio A. Cerda, 2008, "Gastroliths in an ornithopod dinosaur", ''Acta Palaeontologica Polonica'' 53(2): 351-355〕
