Protognathosaurus
Protognathosaurus was a long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur that lived in what is now China during the Middle Jurassic. It is known only from a piece of its lower jaw, so scientists are still learning about it. Most researchers think it was a medium-sized sauropod.13

Dintlha tse monate
Protognathosaurus is known only from a single fossil: the front part of a left lower jaw, called a dentary.1
This dinosaur had 18 to 20 teeth in its lower jaw, and some of them were sharp replacement teeth still growing in.12
Its teeth had a sharp point and small serrations (like a steak knife) on the front and back edges.2
The name Protognathosaurus was first used in 1991 by George Olshevsky, because the original name Protognathus was already taken by a beetle.1
Most scientists consider Protognathosaurus a nomen dubium, meaning the fossil is too incomplete to be sure it is a distinct species.1
The jaw bone is thick and heavy, with a deep groove called the Meckelian canal, which is a feature of some early sauropods.2

- The fossil was found in the Dashanpu Dinosaur Quarry in Sichuan, China. It was named Protognathus oxyodon by Zhang Yihun in 1988, but that name was already used for a beetle, so George Olshevsky renamed it Protognathosaurus oxyodon in 1991.1

- Scientists are not sure if Protognathosaurus is a valid dinosaur or just a doubtful name, because only a piece of jaw has been found.1
