Describer
Piveteau, 1926
Time
Cretaceous Late Campanian
Classification
Nomina Dubia
Fossilsite
Gres de Maevarano, Faritany Majunga, Madagascar
Info
Teeth.
Based on a tooth that had once been referred to Majungatholus, when that genus was considered a pachycephalosaurian. later work (1998) in the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar has resulted in similar tooth specimens,and these are a mystery, particularly since they seem to differ from ornithischian teeth. Also a skull (with partial skeleton) was found with some of similar teeth in place.
The teeth are decidedly not ornithischian.
