Labocania anomalaLabocania is a medium-sized theropod dinosaur found in Mexico. Though its remains are very fragmentary, paleontologists believe it was a tyrannosauroid - a relative of T. rex. | Phylum | Class | Order | Family | Chordata | Reptilia | Ornithischia | Hadrosauridae | Age | Geologic time | 77 - 70 Ma | | Cretaceous | | Lambeosaurus lambei | Phylum | Class | Order | Family | Chordata | Reptilia | Ornithischia | Hadrosauridae | Age | Geologic time | 77 - 70 Ma | | Cretaceous | |
LambeosaurusLambeosaurus meaning "Lambe's lizard") is a genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur that lived about 75 million years ago, in the Late Cretaceous period (Campanian) of North America. This bipedal/quadrupedal, herbivorous dinosaur is known for its distinctive hollow cranial crest, which in the best-known species resembled a hatchet. | Phylum | Class | Order | Family | Chordata | Reptilia | Ornithischia | Ankylosauridae | Age | Geologic time | 122 Ma | | Cretaceous | |
Liaoningosaurus paradoxusThis Chinese dinosaur is a relative of the armored dinosaur Ankylosaurus from North America. Unlike its heavy-duty cousin, fossils suggest that it was probably semi-aquatic, giving the animal a "paradox" status. |

Litorosuchus somniiLitorosuchus was an armored aquatic predator from Triassic aged rocks in China. Although it resembled a crocodile, it was not part of the crocodilian radiation, but part of an early radiation related to both crocodilians and birds. | Phylum | Class | Order | Family | Chordata | Sauropsida | Prolacertiformes | Longisquamidae | Age | Geologic time | 230 - 225 Ma | | Triassic | |
Longisquama insignisLongisquama is a genus of extinct reptile. There is only one species, Longisquama insignis, known from a poorly preserved skeleton and several incomplete fossil impressions from the Middle to Late Triassic Madygen Formation in Kyrgyzstan. Longisquama means "long scales"; the specific name insignis refers to its small size. The Longisquama holotype is notable for a number of long structures that appear to grow from its skin. The current opinion is that Longisquama is an ambiguous diapsid and has no bearing on the origin of birds. | Phylum | Class | Order | Family | Chordata | Reptilia | Ornithischia | Iguanodontidae | Age | Geologic time | 121 - 112 Ma | | Cretaceous | |
Lurdusaurus arenatusThe sturdy limbs and huge belly of Lurdusaurus suggest a semi-aquatic mode of life, similar to modern hippos. 115 million years ago, it lived in a tropical rainforest in Sahara Desert. | Phylum | Class | Order | Family | Chordata | Synapsida | Therapsida | Lystrosauridae | Age | Geologic time | 255 - 250 Ma | | Permian | Triassic | | Lystrosaurus declivis | Phylum | Class | Order | Family | Chordata | Synapsida | Therapsida | Lystrosauridae | Age | Geologic time | 255 - 230 Ma | | Triassic | |
LystrosaurusAt the end of the Permian Period, 70% of land-dwelling species vanished. The herbivorous Lystrosaurus somehow survived the ordeal and dominated the landscape, making up as much as 90% of the known vertebrate fauna after the extinction. |   |
