''Laosaurus'' (meaning "stone or fossil lizard") is a genus of neornithischian dinosaur. The type species, ''Laosaurus celer'', was first described by Othniel Charles Marsh, O.C. Marsh in 1878 from remains from the Oxfordian stage, Oxfordian-Tithonian-age Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Wyoming. The validity of this genus is doubtful because it is based on fragmentary fossils. A second species from the Morrison Formation, ''L. gracilis'', and a species from the late Cretaceous Allison Formation of Alberta, Canada, ''Laosaurus minimus'', are also considered nomen dubium, dubious. History and taxonomy Marsh (1878a) named his new genus from vertebrae (Peabody Museum of Natural History, YPM 1874) found by Samuel Wendell Williston at Como Bluff, Wyoming, from rocks of the Morrison Formation. The holotype, type material includes nine partial and two complete tail body of vertebra, vertebral centra, which he concluded came from a "fox-sized" animal. In the same year, he named ...
