Rhadinosaurus (meaning "slender lizard") is a genus of nodosaurid ankylosaur first described in 1881 by Harry Govier Seeley, based on remains uncovered in Austria sometime between 1859 and 1870 by Edward Suess and Pawlowitsch.[1] It was a herbivore that lived around 84.9 to 70.6 million years ago (during the Late Cretaceous period).[2] The type species is R. alcimus.
