Strenusaurus

strenuous lizard

• strenuus · Latin · vigorous, active, strenuous
• sauros · Greek · lizard

The name combines the Latin "strenuus", meaning vigorous or active, with the Greek "sauros", meaning lizard. It is a descriptive name, so it does not refer to a place or a person. I am inferring the exact reasoning from the roots and have not confirmed it against the original description.

I recall this as a sauropodomorph dinosaur genus (type species Strenusaurus procerus). I am not confident about the author, year, age or locality, so I have left those fields blank instead of guessing. Please check the original publication before relying on this entry.
