Blikanasaurus cromptoni Galton & van Heerden, 1985 |
Blikanasaurus (meaning "Blikana lizard") was a sauropodomorph dinosaur found in Lower Elliot Formation rocks from the Late Triassic in what is now South Africa's Cape Province. Known from a left lowe limb only, it has been variously classified as a prosauropod or basal sauropod. The type species, Blikanasaurus cromptoni, was first described by Galton and van Heerden in 1985.
