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.

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.
