Anatomy: This ornithischian (bird-hipped) dinosaur had small teeth in its jaws. It may have had a horn-covered beak. Fabrosaurus probably walked on two long legs and had two short arms. It was roughly 3 feet (1 m) long.
Diet: Fabrosaurus was an herbivore, a plant-eater.
Fossils: Fabrosaurus was named in 1964 by paleontologist Leonard Ginsburg to honor the French scientist Jean Henri Fabre (a colleague of Ginsburg's who was on the dig that discovered Fabrosaurus). The type species is F. australis. Fossils of this primitive dinosaur have been found in Lesotho, South Africa.
