Close up of tooth plateThe genus is known from a partial skull preserved in ventral view. The teeth in the upper and lower jaws were fused into tooth plates.[1]
Diet and lifestyle[edit]It is likely that Oenosaurus led a durophagous lifestyle as indicated by the broad tooth plates.[1] It is unknown if this animal was aquatic or terrestrial.
It is currently considered to be a sapheosaur.[2]
