Fatgs divertents

1

Matheronodon had only four teeth in its upper jaw at a time, but each tooth was huge, up to 5 centimeters long.2

2

Its teeth grew in pairs of fused sockets, so one tooth sat in two holes. This made the tooth row look like a saw blade.21

3

Matheronodon's upper jaw bone was very strong, about 22 centimeters long and 10 centimeters tall.2

4

Scientists think Matheronodon ate tough monocot plants like Sabalites and Pandanites, which have lots of tough fibers.21

5

Matheronodon belonged to a group called rhabdodontids, which were common in Europe during the Late Cretaceous but not found in North America or Asia.2

6

The name Matheronodon honors Philippe Matheron, who first described dinosaur fossils from Provence, France.1
