Eucercosaurus
Eucercosaurus (meaning "good-tailed lizard"[1]) is the name given to a genus of dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous. It was an ornithopod discovered in England and first described in 1879. The type species, Eucercosaurus tanyspondylus, was described by British paleontologist Harry Seeley in 1879. It is considered a dubious name, and was once considered an ankylosaur.
