Crichtonsaurus is a dubious genus of Ankylosaurid from the Sunjiawan Formation of Liaoning Province, China, living about 92 million years ago, in the Cenomanian to Turonian ages of the Late Cretaceous. It is known from a lower left jaw, and though other material has been assigned to it, it cannot be definitively assigned to the genus due to a lack of overlapping material, and the jaw itself cannot definitively be said to be different from any other genus of Ankylosaurid. It was probably fairly small, only about 3.5 meters long, though of course that is estimated from only a jaw.
