In Depth
Geranosaurus was an ornithischian dinosaur that lived in South Africa during the early Jurassic. Because Geranosaurus is known from only very fragmentary fossil remains, many consider it a dubious genus as it will likely be very difficult to attribute further remains to the genus given there is so little to compare new discoveries too. By extension, not much can be inferred to the lifestyle of Geranosaurus, though there has been speculation that it may have been similar to dinosaurs such as Heterodontosaurus.
Another dinosaur named by Robert Broom in 1911 was Gryponyx.
