Extinct genus of lizards
Harrisonsaurus is an extinct genus of iguanid lizard from the Lower Miocene of Nebraska. It was named in 1981 by Holman for a lower jaw bone found in the Harrison Formation showing a deep jaw, with the single specimen named as the new species H. fossilis. The jaw and teeth show the most similarities to Enyalioides and similar iguanids.[1]
