Stegosauria is a group of herbivorous ornithischian dinosaurs that lived during the Jurassic and early Cretaceous periods. Stegosaurian fossils have been found mostly in the Northern Hemisphere, Africa and South America. Although their geographical origins are unclear, the earliest unequivocal stegosaurians are known from the Middle Jurassic, including Adratiklit, Bashanosaurus, Isaberrysaura and Thyreosaurus.
