Pentaedrusaurus (meaning "pentagonal [skull] lizard"[1]) is an extinct genus of procolophonid parareptile from the Early Triassic of China . It is one of the most basal members of the procolophonid subfamily Leptopleuroninae. The only known species of Pentaedrusaurus, P. ordosianus, was named in 1989 from the Heshanggou Formation.[2]
