Manidens condorensis was a diminutive species of ornithischian dinosaur that inhabited the Chubut province of Argentina during the Jurassic period, approximately 170 million years ago.
Manidens might have possessed a covering of quill-like feathers, as a closely related dinosaur from China called Tianyulong was discovered to have had these structures.
