The Technosaurus got its name because the first partial Jawbone was found very close to the Texas University . Hence the name "Tech". This dinosaur name came from the founder, Sankar Chatterjee who discovered the fossils in 1984. Very little is known about the species because of such inconclusive research because of the little amount of fossils found of the species. It is known that this was a smaller dinosaur of the late Triassic Era being not more than 3 feet tall, and a herbivore.
