Paranthodon by Moondawg

Paranthodon (Meaning "Beside Anthodon") was a dinosaur from the middle of the Cretaceous. It lived in what is now South Africa.

It is classified as a stegosaur. The type species, Paranthodon africanus, comes from a partial skull first described as Palaeoscincus africanus in 1912. It was reclassified as Paranthodon africanus in 1929 by the famed Franz von Nopsca. It owes its name to the fact that its jaw was found near the fossils of a Permian pareiasaur named Anthodon.
