1

Leiodon was first named by the famous scientist Richard Owen in 1841, based on just two tooth fragments and a bit of jawbone.1

2

The name Leiodon means 'smooth tooth' because the fossil teeth had a smooth and polished surface.1

3

Leiodon lived between about 100 and 66 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.3

4

Leiodon fossils have been found all over the world, including in Antarctica, Europe, Africa, and South America.3

5

Some scientists think Leiodon might not be a valid genus because its main fossil teeth are now lost, making it a 'nomen dubium' or doubtful name.1

6

Leiodon was one of the original genera used to define the family Mosasauridae in 1853.1

Richard Owen named Leiodon in 1841 from two tooth fragments and a small jaw piece found in Essex, England.1
Go sa ntse go ganetsanwa
Scientists are not sure if Leiodon is a valid genus because the original tooth fossils are missing, so it might be a 'nomen dubium' (doubtful name).1
