Alocodon
''Alocodon'' (a-LOK-o-don; Greek ''alox'' and ''odon'' meaning 'furrow' and 'tooth') is a genus of ornithischian dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic of what is now Portugal. It was described in 1973 by Richard Anthony Thulborn. It had small ornithopod-like teeth with vertical grooves. This animal is only known from these teeth, and is usually considered a ''nomen dubium''. The type species is ''Alocodon kuehnei'', the specific epithet honoring the German paleontologist Georg Kühne. The holotype is LPFU P X 2. Though at first it was considered by Thulborn a member of the Fabrosauridae〔Thulborn, R.A. (1975). "Teeth of ornithischian dinosaurs from the Upper Jurassic of Portugal, with description of a hypsilophodontid (''Phyllodon henkeli'' gen. et sp. nov.) from the Guimarota lignite", ''Contribuição para o conhecimento da Fauna do Kimerridgiano da Mina de Lignito Guimarota (Leiria, Portugal)'', Serviços Geológicos de Portugal, Memória (Nova Série) 22: 89-134〕 and by Peter Galton a hypsilophodontid, Paul Sereno (1991) classified ''A. kuehnei'' as Ornithischia ''incertae sedis''. Further studies indicate this species as a probable thyreophoran. ==Notes==
