Pedrerasaurus
Pedrerasaurus is an extinct genus of scincogekkonomorph lizard from the Early Cretaceous of Spain. The type species is P. latifrontalis. It is similar in appearance to Meyasaurus, a widespread Early Cretaceous lizard that is also known from the Iberian Peninsula. Both genera have bicuspid (two-cusped) teeth, but unlike Meyasaurus, Pedrerasaurus has frontal bones that are not fused or constricted.[1]
