Adratiklit (meaning "mountain lizard") is an extinct genus of herbivorous stegosaurian dinosaur that lived on the supercontinent Gondwana during the Middle Jurassic period (168–164 million years ago).
Its remains were found in the El Mers III Formation (Bathonian–?Callovian),[1] near Boulahfa, south of Boulemane, Fès-Meknès, north Morocco.
Adratiklit is the first described eurypodan taxon from North Africa, as well as—along with Thyreosaurus—one of the oldest known stegosaurs (being similar in age to Bashanosaurus,[3] Isaberrysaura,[4] and the informally-named "Ferganastegos"[5]).
With the dorsal vertebrae, the prezygapophysis has a small triangular rough protrusion on top, behind the front articulation facet of the vertebral body.
With the dorsal vertebrae, the centroparapophysal laminae being drawn on the anteriorly-projecting rugosities that are located on either side of the neural canal in dorsal vertebrae, the ridges between the vertebral body and the parapophyses, the contact facets for the lower rib heads, end in rough areas protruding to the front on both sides of the front opening of the neural canal.
