Stagonolepis is an extinct genus of archosaur reptile belonging to the aetosaur order. It was about 3 m (10 ft) long.
An aetosaur, Stagonolepis was a quadrupedal covered in thick scutes. It had no teeth in the front of its jaws, but a beak-like tip that arched upwards, allowing it to uproot plants (much like how a pig uses its snout).
