Tatisaurus is a fragmentary genus of basal Thyreophoran from the Sinemurian age of the Early Jurassic, approximately 199 to 190 million years ago. It is only known from part of the jaw and, after much taxonomic bouncing around, was found to have similarities to Thyreophorans such as Huayangosaurus and Sceliosaurus. It is known from the Lower Lufeng Formation in Yunnan, China, and even though it’s a dubious genus, it is potentially the oldest known Thyreophoran.
