Armandisaurus
Extinct genus of lizards / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Armandisaurus explorator is an extinct species of iguanid[1] that lived in what is now Santa Fe County, New Mexico, in the Early Middle Miocene period. The fossil specimen is a well-preserved cranium with mandibles and parts of seven cervical vertebrae collected by J. C. Blick in 1940. Fossil evidence suggests that A. explorator was a blunt, medium-sized iguana that grew to about 61 cm (24 in) including its tail.[2]
