Kentrosaurus
Kentrosaurus
( ) is a
genus
of
stegosaurian
dinosaur
from the
Late Jurassic
of
Tanzania
. The
type species
is
K. aethiopicus
, named and described by
German
palaeontologist
Edwin Hennig
in 1915. Often thought to be a "
primitive
" member of the
Stegosauria
, several recent
cladistic
analyses find it as more derived than many other stegosaurs, and a close relative of
Stegosaurus
from the
North American
Morrison Formation
within the
Stegosauridae
.
