Euronychodon portucalensis Telles-Antunes & Sigogneau-Russell, 1991 |
Euronychodon is the name given to a genus of dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous. It was a dromaeosaur, based on its teeth. Its fossils, including only teeth, were found in Europe.
The type species, E. portucalensis, was described by Telles-Antunes and Sigogneau-Russell in 1991. A second species, found in Asia, is based on a sole tooth, and is considered nomen dubium.
