Minotaurasaurus (meaning "man-bull lizard") is a genus of ankylosaurid dinosaur that lived around 70 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous. It is known only from a complete skull recovered in the Gobi Desert. While it had a distinctive armored bull-like head and a more primitive braincase, it shares the typical features of an ankylosaurid. It was named in 2009 by Clifford A. Miles and Clark J. Miles.^[1]
