Cardiodon was the first sauropod dinosaur ever given a formal scientific name, though scientists at the time did not yet know it was a sauropod.1
Its name means 'heart tooth' because its tooth was shaped like a heart.1
The only known fossil of Cardiodon is a single tooth, which is now lost.1
The tooth had a short, wide crown with a slightly convex inner side and a shallow groove on the outer side.1
Cardiodon lived during the late Bathonian stage of the Jurassic Period, about 167 million years ago.12
Some scientists think Cardiodon might be related to the giant Spanish sauropod Turiasaurus.1

?How big was Cardiodon?
Nobody knows for sure. Only a single tooth has been found, so scientists cannot estimate its size.1
?What did Cardiodon eat?
Cardiodon was a herbivore, meaning it ate plants. As a sauropod, it would have been a large, quadrupedal plant-eater.12
?Why is Cardiodon only known from a tooth?
The only fossil ever found of Cardiodon is a single tooth, which is now lost. No other bones have been discovered.1
