''Campylodoniscus'' is a genus of sauropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period of what is now Argentina. The type species was first named and described by Friedrich von Huene in 1929 as ''Campylodon ameghinoi'',〔Huene, F. von, 1929, "Los Saurisquios y Ornitisquios del Cretaceo Argentino", ''Anales del Museo de La Plata'', 3(2): 82-83〕 the genus name meaning 'bent tooth', from Greek καμπυλος, 'bent' or 'curved' (as of a bow) and ὀδών meaning 'tooth'. The specific name honours Florentino Ameghino. In 1961 Oskar Kuhn noted that the name was pre-occupied by a fish and renamed the genus into ''Campylodoniscus'', the diminutive.〔 *Haubold, H. & Kuhn, O., 1961, ''Lebensbilder und Evolution fossiler Saurier, Amphibien und Reptilien'', Wittenberg : Ziemsen〕 The fossil remains of ''Campylodoniscus'' were found in the Sierra de San Bernardo and consist of a single jaw bone, the maxilla, holding seven teeth. The age of ''Campylodoniscus'' could be from the Cenomanian, about 95 million years ago, or the Campanian-Maastrichtian, about 70 million years old. It is sometimes estimated as being around twenty meters in length. ''Campylodoniscus'' is probably a member of the Titanosauria. Some researchers consider it a ''nomen dubium''. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Campylodoniscus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
