Coartaredens is an extinct genus of reptile from the Middle Triassic of England. It contains a single species, Coartaredens isaaci, from the Anisian-age Otter Sandstone of Devon. The species is based on a partial jaw and other fragments with large conical teeth. Though originally described as a lepidosauromorph,[1][2] some authors have instead considered it to be a procolophonid.[3]
