Protognathosaurus was a big, long-necked plant eater that lived in China during the Middle Jurassic. It is known from just a piece of its lower jaw, so scientists are still figuring out exactly what it looked like.1

1

Protognathosaurus is known only from a single piece of lower jaw, called a dentary, which had about 18 tooth positions.1

2

Its name was first Protognathus, but that name was already used for a beetle, so in 1991 it was changed to Protognathosaurus.1

3

The jaw shows sharp replacement teeth still growing in, which is why the species name oxyodon means 'sharp tooth'.1

4

It lived about 168 to 161 million years ago, during the Middle Jurassic.1

5

The fossil was found in the Lower Shaximiao Formation, which is made of sandstone and mudstone from an ancient lake.2

6

Scientists think it was a medium-sized primitive sauropod, with a thick and heavy lower jaw.2

Mubvisi wengano

Ngano: Some people think Protognathosaurus is a fake or made-up dinosaur because it is so incomplete.

Chokwadi: It is a real dinosaur, but many scientists consider it a nomen dubium, meaning the name is doubtful because the fossil is too fragmentary to be sure.1

Kuwanikwa
In 1988, Zhang Yihun named and described the type species Protognathus oxyodon from a jaw found in China. In 1991, George Olshevsky renamed it Protognathosaurus because the old name was already taken.1
Zvichiri kupokanwa
Scientists debate whether Protognathosaurus is a valid genus or just a nomen dubium, because the only fossil is a piece of jaw.1
