Technosaurus smalli Chatterjee, 1984

Technosaurus (TEK-no-SAWR-us) was a Triassic ornithischian dinosaur. It was a small, lightly build herbivore reaching the length of 3 feet and running on its hind legs. The holotype apparently includes some prosauropod hatchling material. Technosaurus lived in North America and is named in honor of Texas Tech. The type species, Technosaurus smalli, was named by Sankar Chatterjee in 1984.
