Rhabdodon
''Rhabdodon'' (meaning "fluted tooth") is a genus of ornithopod dinosaur that lived in Europe approximately 70–66 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous. It is similar in build to a very robust "hypsilophodont" (Non-Iguanodont ornithopod.), though all modern phylogenetic analyses find this ("Hypsilophodontia/tidae") to be an unnatural grouping, and ''Rhabdodon'' to be a basal member of Iguanodontia anyway.
==Discovery==
''Rhabdodon priscus'' is the type species; another species, described in 1991, is ''R. septimanicus'' (Buffetaut and Le Loeuff), however these have on occasion been considered to be the same animal. ''Rhabdodon'' lived in Spain, France, and on Haţeg Island in Romania, and remains of a very similar dinosaur (femur and limb bone fragments) are also known from the Czech Republic. The Czech material is only identifiable as Rhabdodontidae indet., but the French material, currently referred as ''R. sp'', has been on occasion referred to as a potentially distinct species.〔http://dinosaurus.bloguje.cz/748912-prvni-kosterni-pozustatky-dinosaura-v-cr.php〕 It was large compared to its nearest relatives, and indeed one recent paper ( Ősi ''et al.'' (2012)) determined it is larger than the basal rhabdodontid status; from this they suggested that it actually experienced gigantism on the "mainland"; and not insular dwarfism as previous suggested.
