I do not know if this "dinosaur" has been described in scientific 
literature yet...but go to any library and you will find at least one 
complete specimen.  I do know that Thesaurus was very intelligent and 
well organized but a little wordly...a great help to all if looking for 
that special word.

Thesaurus rogeti  (Roget's lofty lizard)

systematics: undecided (waiting for description)
age: Recent (hey! the all "dinosaurs" are not extinct)
habit: library shelves and tables, bookstores
size: rarely larger than 9"x11"
weight: about 2 lbs.
