Ignotosaurus is an extinct genus of silesaurid dinosauriform known from the Late Triassic (Carnian) Cancha de Bochas Member of the Ischigualasto Formation in the Ischigualasto-Villa Unión Basin in northwestern Argentina.[1] It was therefore contemporary with early dinosaurs such as Herrerasaurus, and lived in the same place.
