''Genusaurus'' ( ; meaning "knee lizard") is a genus of dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous. Its fossils were found in France. ''Genusaurus'' is believed to have lived during the Albian faunal stage, around 112-100 million years ago.〔
==Discovery and naming==
The type species, ''Genusaurus sisteronis'', is the only named species. It is based on a partial skeleton found in 1984-1986 in the Albian Bevons Beds, holotype MNHN, Bev.1. The holotype contains seven partial dorsal vertebrae, a piece of a sacral, a piece of an ilium, the top of a pubic bone, a thighbone, the top of a shinbone, the top of a fibula and a metatarsal. It was named and described by Hugues Accarie, Bernard Beaudoin, Jean Dejax, Gérard Friès, Jean-Guy Michard and Philippe Taquet in 1995.〔Accarie, H., B. Beaudoin, J. Dejax, G. Fries, J.C. Michard, and P. Taquet (1995). "Découverte d'un Dinosaure théropode nouveau (''Genusaurus sisteronis n. g., n. sp''.) dans l'Albien marin de Sisteron (Alpes de Haute-Provence, France) et extension au Crétacé inférieur de la lignée cératosaurienne". ''Compte rendu hebdomadaire des scéances de l'Académie des Sciences à Paris''. 320 (2): 327-334 (Translation into English. )〕 The genus name is derived from the Latin word ''genu'' (knee) and refers to the cnemial crest in front of the proximal end of the tibia.〔 The specific name refers to Sisteron, the town near which the specimen was found.〔
