| Gasparinisaura cincosaltensis Coria & Salgado, 1996 |
Gasparinisaura is the name of a genus of dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous. Its fossils were found in Argentina. The type species, Gasparinisaura cincosaltensis, was described in 1996 by Coria and Salgado. Originally classified as an iguanodont, recent research indicates it was a hypsilophodont. In any case, it was an ornithopod.
