Revueltosaurus ("Revuelto lizard") is an extinct genus of suchian pseudosuchian[1] from Late Triassic (late Carnian to middle Norian stage) deposits of New Mexico, Arizona and North Carolina, United States. Many specimens, mostly teeth, have been assigned to Revueltosaurus over the years. Currently, three species are included in this genus, all of which were originally thought to represent monospecific genera of basal ornithischian dinosaurs.[2][3][4] Revueltosaurus was about 1 meter (3.3 feet) long.
