In Depth
Kranosaura is a genus of archosauromorph that is thought to have been similar to the genus Triopticus in that Kranosaura also had a skull formed to create a dome shape. This dome structure would have been similar in form to the pachycephalosaurid dinosaurs that lived much later during the Cretaceous. Unfortunately at the time of writing not much more is known about Kranosaura.
