Lucianosaurus was an archosauriform genus of unknown affinities,[1] initially described as a basal ornithischian dinosaur, and known only from teeth.[2] It was found in Late Triassic strata in Eastern New Mexico, United States. The generic name refers to Luciano Mesa where the fossil remains were found.
