Oplosaurus armatus Oplosaurus

Oplosaurus (meaning “armed or weapon lizard” or “armoured lizard”; see below for discussion) was a genus of sauropod dinosaur from the Lower Cretaceous (Barremian stage) Wessex Formation of the Isle of Wight, England. It is known from a single tooth usually referred to the contemporaneous “wastebasket taxon” Pelorosaurus, although there is no solid evidence for this.
