The Fabrosauridae is a proposed family of primitive ornithischian dinosaurs from the Late Triassic and Jurassic. However, recent studies indicate the Fabrosaurs are not a natural grouping of dinosaurs, consisting of unrelated genera.cite book |last=Weishampel |first=David B. |authorlink=David B. Weishampel |coauthors=and Witmer, Lawrence M. |editor=Weishampel, David B.; Dodson, Peter; and Osmólska, Halszka (eds.)|title=The Dinosauria |edition=1st |year=1990 |publisher=University of California Press |location=Berkeley |isbn=0-520-06727-4 |pages=416-425 |chapter="Lesothosaurus", "Pisanosaurus", and "Technosaurus"] The proposed "Fabrosaurs" descended from a "Lesothosaurus"-like animal. Proposed fabrosaurids were 1-2 meters long, and were lightly-built and bipedal. Their skulls were triangular and had very large eye sockets. They were herbivorous and would have used agility to escape predators.
