Caenagnathasia
Taxon: Oviraptorisauria
Name means: “recent jaw from Asia”
Pronounced: see-NAG-na-THAY-zhee-a
Size: about 3 ft (1 m)
Time: Late Cretaceous, c. 90 milion years ago
Place: Uzbekistan , Central Asia
This is the earliest-known caenagnathid, a small, toothless, bipedal
theropod that ate meat, and probably was swift and agile. It was named
by Phil Currie, Stephen Godfrey and Lev Nessov in 1993.
Caenagnathus
Taxon: Oviraptorisauria
Name means: “recent jaw”
Pronounced: see-nig-NAY-thus
Size: Small
Time: Late Cretaceous
Place: Western North America
This lean, quick meat-eater, named by Ray Sternberg in 1940, was once
thought to be a large, toothless bird from Alberta. Because only a single
lower jaw was found, it took more than thirty years for scientists to
discover that Caenagnathus was in fact a theropod related to Oviraptor.
Several skeletons have been found, confirming that Caenagnathus is a
crested dinosaur similar to some of the oviraptoroids from Mongolia.
However, these also show that it is the same dinosaur as CHIROSTENOTES,
a meat-eater from the same region, and is therefore a scientifically
invalid genus.
Calamosaurus
Taxon: Unknown
Name means: “reed bone lizard”
pronunciated:KAL-uh-muh-SAW-rus
Length: Unknown
Time: Early Cretaceoous
Place: England
Scientists named Calamosaurus based on two neck bones and a lower leg
bone found on the Isle of Wight in Great Britain. With such limited
fossil material, conclusive identification is difficult. It has been
suggested to be the same as the meat-eater Calamospondylus, which is
itself a dubious genus and may be the same as Aristosuchus.
Calamospondylus
Taxon: Unknown
Name means: “reed vertebrae”
pronunciated:KAL-uh-moh-SPOH-dil-us
size: Small
time: Early Cretaceous
place: England
Another species named by British scientists based on limited fossil
materials, Calamospondylus was a small meat eater with small toes and
clawed hands. The pubic bone suggests it may have had a bigger stomach
region than other similar small meat eaters. It may have been the same
animal as Aristosuchus.
Callovosaurus
Doubtful name. May be Camptosaurus.
pronounced: ka-LOH-vo-SAW-rus
time: Middle Jurassic
place: England
Though the fossil find was minimal – only an upper leg bone --
paleontologists consider this a significant discovery because it represents
one of the earliest iguanodonts.
Camarasaurus
Taxon: Sauropoda
Name means: “chambered lizard”
Pronounced: KAM-uh-ruh-SAW-rus
Length: 25 – 66 ft (7.5 – 20 m)
Time: Late Jurassic, 154 – 144 milion years ago
Place: Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Portugal
Cope named Camarasaurus after discovering the four-legged sauropod
in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. Its head was short and box-like, with
large nostrils above the snout and in front of the eyes. Because dozens
of specimens have been found and studied, many details are now known
about Camarasaurus. Many of the individuals unearthed have been young
or juvenile, and studies of nest sites suggest the sauropod laid eggs
rather than giving birth to live young. Even a rare sample of fossilized
Camarasaurus skin has been discovered at Dinosaur National Monument
in Utah. For many years, Apatosaurus was mistakenly reconstructed with
the skull of the distantly-related Camarasaurus.
Camelotia
Taxon: Prosauropoda
Name means: “for Camelot”
Pronounced: kam-e-LOH-tee-a
Length: about 30 ft (9 m)
Time: 210 – 206 milion years ago
Place: England
This prosauropod was named after the legendary English court of Camelot,
rumored in to have been close to its place of discovery.
Camposaurus
Taxon: Theropoda
Name means: “Camp’s lizard” Named for charles Lewis
Camp
Pronounced: KAM-po-SAWR-us
Length: Small
Time: Late Triassic, c. 210 million years
Place: Arizona
A small ceratosaurian meat-eater, named (by Hunt, Lucas, Heckert, Sullivan
and Lockley) for Charles Lewis Camp, the American paleontologist who
excavated it. Camposaurus differs from Coelophysis and Syntarsis in
its hind limbs, but it was likely as deadly as other bipedal hunters
due to its agility, speed, and intelligence.
Camptosaurus
Taxon: Ornithopoda
Name means: “flexible back lizard”
Pronounced: KAMP-tuh-SAW-rus
Length: 11.5 – 23 ft (3.5 – 7 m)
Time: Late Jurassic, 154 – 144 million years ago
Place: Wyoming, South Dakota, Colorado, Utah, England
Camptosaurus is more advanced than the primitive two-legged plant eaters
known as hypsilophodontids, but is more primitive than hadrosaurs, the
later duckbilled dinosaurs.
Campylodon
Name means: “bent tooth”
Pronounced: kam-PIL-o-don
Considered to be CAMPYLODONISCUS.
Campylodoniscus
Taxon: Unknown
Name means: “bent tooth”
pronounced: KAM-pye-LOH-duh-NIS-kus
size: Unknown
time: Late Cretaceous
place: Argentina
Another four-legged, browsing plant eater, this sauropod is known only
from an incomplete upper jaw with a single tooth. It is important because
it is one of the last sauropod groups that apparently thrived in South
America, long after becoming nearly extinct in North America.
Capitalsaurus Invalid name. Named for Washington, D. C., the capital
of the United States of America.
Carcharodontosaurus
Taxon: Carnosauria
Name means: “shark-toothed lizard”
Pronounced: kahr-CHAR-uh-DON-tuh-SAW-rus
Length: 30 feet (9 m)
Time: Early to Late Cretaceousc. 112 – 98 million years ago
Place: Algeria, Egypt, Morocco
Recognized for a long time from only fragmentary remains, this giant,
Allosaur-like predator has only recently been understood well enough
to build
a good reconstruction. It was one of the largest known land predators,
rivaling Tyrannosaurus and Giganotosaurus in length and mass. The teeth
of Carcharodontosaurus were long and serrated, well-suited for slicing
through the flesh of large North African prey, and the three talons
on each hand were long and sharp. Because of this large carnivore’s
shark-like teeth, it may be that Carcharodontosaurus ate smaller, softer
animals rather than slicing through the flesh of larger prey. Though
the original specimen was destroyed in World War II bombing raids on
Germany, scientists found a nearly complete skull of Carcharodontosaurus
in Southwestern Mexico. That skull was larger than the skull of Tyrannosaurus,
but had a smaller braincase. Other bones discovered in the same area
suggest that forelimbs of Carcharodontosaurus, like those of T. rex,
were short with very long claws.
Cardiodon
Taxon: Unknown
Name means: “heart tooth”
pronounced: KAHR-dee-uh-don
size: Unknown
time: Middle Jurassic
place: England
Like many fossil finds, this discovery is too modest to be definitive.
Based on the discovery of a single, heart-shaped fossilized tooth, a
four legged browser was named Cardiodon by Owens. Some believe Cardiodon
is in fact the same as the sauropod Cetiosaurus. Without more evidence,
it is impossible to say for sure.
Carnosaurus An invalid genus comprised of unidentifiable large theropod
remains, impossible to scientifically describe.
Carnotaurus
Taxon: Abelisauridae or Neoceratosauria
Name means: “flesh bull” or “meat-eating bull”
Pronounced: KAHR-nuh-TOR-us
Length: 25 feet long (7.5 m)
Time: Middle to Late Creataceous, 112 – 98 million years ago
Place: Argentina, Patagonia
Named for the horns above its eyes, this small-armed, snub-nosed predator
is unusual in many ways. Horn-like projections on the skull inspired
paleontologist Jose Bonaparte to give this carnivorous theropod its
distinctive name. Nearly 25 feet long, Carnotaurus had a distinctive
short, deep snout. Its eyes were positioned in the skull so that both
could focus on the same field of vision, meaning it had depth perception
and could see in three dimensions the way humans do. The forelimbs of
Carnotaurus were stubby with short lower arm bones. Rare skin impressions
were found with Carnotaurus, indicating small bumps were scattered across
the meat eater’s hide.
Caseosaurus
Taxon: Theropoda, probably Herrerasauridae
Name means: “Case’s lizard” in recognition of the
paleontologist Ermine Cowles Case.
Pronounced: KAY-so-SAW-rus
Length: Unknown
Time: Late Triassic, c. 221 mya
Place: Texas
Hunt, Lucas, Heckert, Sullivan and Lockley named Caseosaurus based
on a right ilium they recognized as that of a herrerasaur. Little is
known about this theropod, which was once thought to be Chindesaurus.
Cathetosaurus
Taxon: Sauropoda
Name means: “upright lizard”
pronounced: kuh-THEE-tuh-SAW-rus
size: Large
time: Late Jurassic
place: Colorado
According to “Dinosaur Jim” Jensen, who named Cathetosaurus,
the unique pelvis of this sauropod made it possible for it to rear up
on its hind feet to reach for plants or to defend its young. The large,
four-legged plant eater’s pelvis was inclined like those of bipedal
or two-legged dinosaurs. Scientists who disagree with Jenson say the
teeth and tooth marks show a number of scavengers of every size fed
on the lifeless body of this Cathetosaurus specimen before it was fossilized.
Caudipteryx
Taxon: Maniraptora or Coelurosauria
Name means: “tail feather”
Pronounced: kaw-DIP-ter-iks
Length: 3 feet (1m)
Time: Middle Cretaceous, c. 124 million years ago
Place: China
A small biped, possibly related to the oviraptorosaurs. It bore an
unusual fan of large,
symmetrical feathers on the end of its tail. Caudipteryx is one of
the rare terrestrial, or
flightless, dinosaurs known to have had feathery plumage.
Cedarosaurus
Taxon: Sauropoda
Name means: “Cedar lizard”
Pronounced: SEE-dar-oh-SAW-rus
Length: Unknown
Time: Early to Middle Cretaceous, c. 144 – 99 Million years ago
Place: Utah
Cedarosaurus was named for the Cedar Mountain Formation. As it has
not yet been
scientifically described, not many facts about this sauropod are presently
known.
Centrosaurus
Taxon: Ceratopsia, Centrosaurinae
Name means: “spur frill lizard”
Pronounced: SEN-truh-SAW-rus
Length: 18-20 feet (6 m)
Time: Late Cretaceous, 84 – 71 million years ago
Place: Alberta
Named for the hook-shaped bone spurs that protrude and curve downward
from the top border of its frill, Centrosaurus was not fully understood
when it was originally described by scientists. It was not until more
specimens were discovered that paleontologists came to better understand
the dinosaur’s characteristics. Some suggest the name is incorrect,
and that this dinosaur should be called Eucentrosaurus. Many bonebeds
of this dinosaur have been found in Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta,
Canada, suggesting that Centrosaurus moved in herds which might have
included thousands of individuals.
Ceratosaurus
Taxon: Ceratosauridae
Name means: “horned lizard”
Pronounced: si-RAT-uh-SAW-rus
Length: 20 feet long, (4.5 – 6 m)
Time: Late Jurassic, 154 – 144 million years ago
Place: Colorado, east Africa
This ferocious theropod is only distantly related to Tyrannosaurus
rex. A number of physical characteristics set it apart from all other
theropods. Most notable amongst these is a prominent crest-like horn
on the upper snout just above the dinosaur’s nasal passages. Such
a fearsome meat-eater probably had no need of a defensive horn, so scientists
believe it may have been a display, perhaps brightly-colored, used to
attract a mate. Some have even suggested it was to help the newborn
Ceratosaurus break out of its egg, much the way an egg tooth helps a
baby chick to break through the shell. This is unlikely, though, as
the horn appears to be a separate bone that only developed in the adults.
Ceratosaurus was more primitive and lived earlier than the T. rex, and
it still had four claws on each hand rather than two. It carried itself
on two, strong muscular hind legs and was likely capable of great bursts
of speed. Its large eyes suggest it had excellent vision. The long,
thin braincase suggests Ceratosaurus was not too bright, but was at
least more intelligent than the plant eaters upon which it fed. Marsh,
who named Ceratosaurus, theorized that its long, thin tail meant that
it could swim. Today, most scientists agree that the dinosaur’s
aquatic abilities are doubtful.
Cetiosauriscus
Taxon: Sauropoda
Name means: “Cetiosaurus-like”
Pronounced: SEE-tee-uh-SAW-ris-kus
Length: 50 feet (16-17 m)
Time: Middle to Late Jurassic, 154 million years ago
Place: England
This long-necked sauropod grazed for plant life on four sturdy legs
and likely used its whip-like tail as a defense against predators. It
was originally misidentified as Cetiosaurus, another, larger sauropod
with a shorter tail. But after further comparative study, the longer
tail and shorter forelimbs of Cetiosauriscus, among other anatomical
features, made it clear that this was a different species.
Cetiosaurus
Taxon: Sauropoda
Name means: “whale-like lizard”
Pronounced: SEE-tee-uh-SAW-rus
Length: 46 – 59 feet (14 – 18 m)
Time: Middle Jurassic, 177 – 164 million years ago
Place: England, Morocco
One of the oldest and most primitive sauropods ever discovered, Cetiosaurus
was a large, bulky plant eater with unusually long forelimbs for its
kind. Sir Richard Owen named this dinosaur more than 85 years before
its true nature was recognized. Owen first believed that the bones of
Cetiosaurus belonged to an aquatic reptile- a huge crocodile “with
carnivorous habits.” Owen’s theory was later corrected by
scientists at the Oxford Museum. Fossil evidence suggests that Cetiosaurus
may have thundered across the prehistoric beaches and lagoons of the
middle Jurassic.
Chaoyoungosaurus
Taxon: Neoceratopsia
Name means: “Chaoyang Lizard”
pronounced:
size: 5-7 feet long (2m)
time: Late Jurassic
place: China
Chaoyoungosaurus was named in honor of Chung Chien Young, the founder
of vertebrate paleontology in China. According to scientists at the
Institute of Vertebrate paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing,
it was, as of 1999, the earliest, most primitive neoceratopsian ever
discovered. Based on an incomplete skeleton, the bipedal plant eater
was between 5 and 7 feet long with a break-lin snout, but has only a
hint of a frill and no horns.
Chasmosaurus
Taxon: Ceratopsia
Name means: “wide-opening lizard”
Pronounced: KAS-mo-SA-rus
Length: 16 – 26 ft (5 – 8 m)
Time: Late Cretaceous, c. 84 – 65 million years ago
Place: Alberta, Texas
One look at the skull of Chasmosaurus, a four-legged, plant-eating
ceratopsian, explains why Lambe picked this particular name. There are
two, paring holes on either side of the bony mass of the Chasmosaurus
frill—holes called “intraparietal fontanelles” by
some experts in the field. Like other ceratopsians, Chamosaurus has
two brow horns, one over each eye, and a shorter, stocky horn on the
snout. Fossilized skin impressions show small, closely-set five- or
six-sided bumps that increased in size to larger, rounder knobs.
Chassternbergia
Taxon: Ankylosauria, Nodosauridae
Name means: “for Chas. (Charles) Sternberg”
Pronounced: CHAS-stern-BERG-ee-a
Size:
time: Late Cretaceous
Place: Western Canada
Dr. Robert Bakker named this tank-like specimen after the great paleontologist
Charles Sternberg, who found so many dinosaurs in western Canada. Classified
as a nodosaurid ankylosaur, it may actually be the species known as
Edmontonia.
Chialingosaurus
Taxon: Stegosauria
Name means: “Jialing lizard,” Jialing River of China.
Pronounced: JYAH-LING-uh-SAW-rus
Length: 12 feet (4 m)
Time: Middle Jurassic, c. 180 – 159 million years ago
Place: China
This Chinese discovery was a medium sized, plate-backed stegosaur.
It had a very narrow skull, more narrow than those of most other stegosaurs.
It had both plates and spines arranged in two rows along its back, from
the neck to the tail. Named for one of the four main rivers in the Sichuan
province of China.
Chiayusaurus Doubtful name. Named for the Jiayuguan badlands in Gansu
Province, China. May be Asiatosaurus.
Chihuahuasaurus
Considered to be SONORASAURUS.
Chilantaisaurus
Taxon: Carnosauria
Name means: “Jilantai lizard”
Pronounced: jee-LAHN-tie-SAWR-us
Length: about 43 ft (13 m)
Time: Middle Cretaceous, c. 121 – 99 mya
Place: China
Named for Jilantai in Inner Mongolia, this meat-eater may either be
a late allosaurine or
an early carcharodontosaurine.
Chindesaurus
Taxon: probably Theropoda
Name means: “Chinde lizard”
Pronounced: CHIN-dee-SAWR-us
Length: 6.5 ft (2 m)
Time: Early Triassic, 227 – 221 mya
Place: Arizona, New Mexico
This small, poorly-known early predator was named for Chinde Point
in Petrified Forest
National Park, Arizona.
Chingkankousaurus Doubtful name. This meat-eater was named for the
Jingankou
village in Shandong Province, China.
Chinshakiangosaurus Invalid name. This may have been the largest prosauropod.
Chirostenotes
Taxon: Theropoda, possibly Oviraptorosauria
Name means: “narrow hand”
Pronounced: KIE-ro-STEN-o-teez
Length: 5.5 – 6.5 ft (1.7 – 2 m)
Time: Late Cretaceous, c. 71 mya
Place: Alberta
A small member of the strange oviraptorid dinosaurs, Chirostenotes
possessed a slender
grasping hand.
Chondrosteosaurus Doubtful name. A camarasaurid sauropod, this dinosaur
was named
for the soft cartilage that the describer believed to fill hollow spaces
in its bones.
Chondrosteus
Considered to be CHONDROSTEOSAURUS.
Chuandongocoelurus Doubtful name. Named for Chuandong in Sichuan Province,
China, these fragmentary remains, too incomplete for a full scientific
analysis, may
belong to a coelurosaur.
Chubutisaurus
Taxon: Sauropoda
Name means: “Chubut lizard”
Pronounced: choo-BOOT-i-SAWR-us
Length: about 75.5 ft (23 m)
Time: Middle Cretaceous, 112 – 99 mya
Place: Argentina
This sauropod was named for Chubut Province in Argentina, where it
was discovered.
Once considered a brachiosaurid, Chubtisaurus may actually be a very
primitive
titanosaur.
Chungkingosaurus
Taxon: Stegosauria
Name means: “Chongquing lizard”
Pronounced: CHUNG-CHING-o-SAWR-us
Length: 10 – 13 ft (3 – 4 m)
Time: Late Jurassic, c. 159 – 144 mya
Place: China
A spike-backed stegosaur, Chungkingosaurus was named for the Chinese
city near which
it was found.
Cionodon Doubtful name. Named for the column-like shape and arrangement
of its
teeth, this “duck-bill” genus may be split between Thespesius
and Bactrosaurus.
[Scholastic requests clarification]
Claorhynchus Doubtful name. This herbivore, known only from a skull
fragment, may
be either a hadrosaurid or a ceratopsian.
Claosaurus
Taxon: Hadrosauridae
Name means: “broken lizard”
Pronounced: KLAY-o-SAWR-us
Length: 11.5 ft (3.5 m)
Time: Late Cretaceous, 84 – 71 mya
Place: Kansas
Claosaurus may have been named for the fact that its skeleton was collected
in pieces
over the course of several years, or because the bones were partially
crushed and
fragmentary.
Clasmodosaurus Doubtful name. This sauropod is known only from its
teeth
Clevelanotyrannus Invalid name.
Considered to be the same as NANOTYRANNUS.
Coelophysis
Taxon: Ceratosauria or Coelophysoidea
Name means: “hollow form”
Pronounced: SEEL-o-FIE-sis
Length: 8 – 10 ft (2.5 – 3 m)
Time: Early Triassic, c. 220 mya
Place: Southwestern United States
Coelophysis was a light, agile predator of the Early Jurassic Period.
The dinosaur is
well-known, thanks to the many skeletons preserved in a large bone
bed at Ghost Ranch
in New Mexico. The ribcages of several skeletons were found to contain
the bones of
juveniles of the same species. This was at first taken as evidence
that Coelophysis gave
birth to live young instead of laying eggs, but futher study showed
that the juveniles
were too old to be prenatal. This apparent cannibalism may not have
been a regular
practice, but one brought on by whatever natural catastrophe killed
the large
Coelophysis group. Some attempts have been made to assign the bone
bed specimens to
the genus Rioarribasaurus.
Coelosaurus Doubtful name. This is believed to be Ornithomimus.
Coeluroides Doubtful name. Considered to be a possible allosaur.
Coelurosaurus Invalid name. A misspelling of Coelurosauria, used to
describe some
unidentifiable theropod material.
Coelurus
Taxon: Theropoda
Name means: “hollow tail”
Pronounced: see-LOOR-us
Length: 6.5 ft (2 m)
Time: Late Jurassic, 151 – 144 mya
Place: Wyoming
This small meat-eater was named for the thin-walled, hollow vertebrae
in its back and
tail.
Coloborhynchus
Name means: “stunted snout”
Considered to be the same as CRIORHYNCHUS.
Coloradia
Name means: “for Colorados”
This name was already in scientific use, so the dinosaur was renamed
COLORADISAURUS.
Coloradisaurus
Taxon: Prosauropoda
Name means: “Colorados lizard”
Pronounced: ko-lo-RAHD-i-SAWR-us
Length: About 13 ft (4 m)
Time: Early Triassic, 221 – 210 mya
Place: Argentina
Named for the Los Colorados Formation of La Rioja, Argentina. Replaced
the name
Coloradia, which was already in use. It has been suggested that this
may actually be the
adult form of Mussasaurus, for which no adult is positively known.
Compsognathus
Taxon: Theropoda, Compsognathidae?
Name means: “delicate jaw”
Pronounced: komp-SOG-na-thus or KOMP-sog-NAY-thus
Length: 3 ft (1 m)
Time: Late Jurassic, 154 – 151 mya
Place: France, Germany
One of the smallest non-avian dinosaurs, the agile Compsognathus had
large eyes,
relatively powerful legs and a lightweight build. This must have been
a great
advantage in hunting insects, small mammals and lizards. For many years,
Compsognathus was reconstructed with only two fingers on each hand,
which suggested
a possible evolutionary relationship with the much larger tyrannosaurs.
Recent fossil
evidence, however, indicates that the tiny predator may have had the
standard three-
clawed theropod hand.
Compsosuchus Doubtful name. At first believed to be a Compsognathus
relative, now
uncertain
Conchoraptor
Taxon: Oviraptorosauria
Name means: “shell plunderer”
Pronounced: KONG-ko-RAP-tor
Length: about 3 ft (1 m )
Time: Late Cretaceous, 84 – 71 mya
Place: Mongolia
Conchoraptor was named for its supposed diet of shellfish. The true
function of its
oddly-shaped oviraptorid beak remains uncertain.
Corythosaurus
Taxon: Hadrosauridae, Lambeosaurinae
Name means: “helmet lizard”
Pronounced: ko-RITH-o-SAWR-us or KOR-i-tho-SAWR-us
Length: 33 ft (10 m)
Time: Late Cretaceous, 84 – 71 mya
Place: Alberta, Montana
This “duck-bill,” a four-legged, beaked plant-eater with
a tremendous battery of
mashing teeth, was named for the large, hollow, helmet-shaped crest
atop its skull.
Craspedodon Doubtful name. This iguanodontid was named for the serrated
borders of
its teeth.
Crataeomus Doubtful name. Considered to be Struthiosaurus.
Craterosaurus Doubtful name. May be a huayangosaurid.
Creosaurus
Name means: “flesh lizard”
Pronounced: CREE-o-SAWR-us
Generally considered to be a member of ALLOSAURUS rather than a new
genus of
meat-eating dinosaur.
Cristatusaurus Doubtful genus. With a narrow spinosaurid snout, this
needle-toothed
carnivore may prove to be a member of either BARYONYX or SUCHOMIMUS.
Cryolophosaurus
Taxon: Theropoda
Name means: “frozen crested lizard”
Pronounced: krie-o-LOF-o-SAWR-us
Length: 20 ft (6 m)
Time: Early Jurassic, 195 – 190 mya
Place: Antarctica
The oldest known carnosaur and the only theropod discovered so far
in Antarctica,
Cryolophosaurus was the first dinosaur from that continent to be scientifically
named
and described. An unusual curved, ridged crest projected up from between
its eyes and
earned this dinosaur the nickname “Elvisaurus.” Although
it is frozen today, Antarctica
was much warmer in the time of Cryolophosaurus, as the process of continental
drift had
not yet moved the continent to its current polar location.
Cryptodraco
Name means: “hidden dragon”
Pronounced: krip-TOD-ra-koh
Considered the same as CRYPTOSAURUS.
Cryptosaurus
Name means: “hidden lizard”
Pronounced: KRIP-toh-SAW-rus
Doubtful name. Originally called Cryptodraco due to the mistaken belief
that the name
“Cryptosaurus” was already in use, this may be a Jurassic
nodosaur but is too poorly-
known to identify further.
Cumnoria
Name means: “for Cumnor”
Pronounced: kum-NOHR-ee-a
Named for the village of Cumnor in England, this iguanodontid is generally
considered
to be a member of CAMPTOSAURUS rather than a distinct genus of its
own.
Cylindricodon
Name means: “cylindrical tooth”
Pronounced: SIL-in-DRIK-oh-don
Considered to be HYLAEOSAURUS.
