Youi could say none because New Zealand separated from the Australian landmass after the dinosaurs died out. Isolated dinosaur bones are found in marine sediments with the bones of marine reptiles but no complete skeletons are known. These sediments were laid down when New Zealand was part of the Australian landmass. Lloyd Esler
The Tuatara is not a dinosaur. Its ancestors lived at the same time as the dinosaurs but survived the extinction of the dinosaurs.
The tuatara is a lizard-like reptile from New Zealand, and the only one that fits the description, because it is not a true lizard. However, it is not particularly large. It tends to be considered more small to medium sized, up to 24cm in length (this is quite different from the incorrect size quoted on the San Diego Zoo website).
New Zealand probably had as many dinosaurs as Australia, but it did not have good conditions for the formation of fossils. Only a few dinosaurs are known from very fragmentary remains; they are so fragmentary that only the group they belonged to is known. They include a type of Allosaur called Joan Wiffen's Theropod, which was similar to Megalosaurus, a type of ankylosaur, a type of Compsognathus like dinosaur, a hypsilophodont, a titanosaur, and footprints from an unidentified dinosaur, potentially an ankylosaur.
Yes. You can find dinosaur fossils in New Zealand and you can also find prehistoric under-sea dwellers such as mosasaur or ammonites
