Yaverlandia
Yaverlandia (meaning "of Yaverland Point/Yaverland Battery") is an extinct genus of possible dinosaur known from two partial fossil skulls found in Lower Cretaceous strata of the Wessex Formation (Upper Silty Bed) in the Isle of Wight, England. When the first known specimen, MIWG 1530, was first described in 1930 by D. M. S. Watson, similarities were noted with the ornithopod genus Vectisaurus (now Mantellisaurus) and the theropod genus Troodon. In 1936, it was ultimately assigned to the former. It was recognised as a distinct genus in 1971 by Peter Galton, who re-examined the remains. Galton
Kemkemia
Kemkemia is a genus of probable crocodyliforms living in the Cretaceous, described from a single fossil that was recovered in 1999 from Morocco by an Italian team searching for fossil invertebrates. The fossil of Kemkemia dates from the Cenomanian age.
Huehuecuetzpalli
Huehuecuetzpalli (translating to "the ancient lizard" in Nahuatl) is an extinct genus of lizard from the Early Cretaceous (late Albian) Tlayúa Formation, a Lagerstätte near Tepexi de Rodríguez, Central Mexico. One species, H. mixtecus, is known. Although it is not the oldest known lizard, Huehuecuetzpalli may be amongst the most basal members of Squamata (the group that includes lizards and snakes), and has been variously considered a close relative of Bavarisaurus, Bellairsia, Marmoretta and Oculudentavis, or as the most basal iguanomorphan. Its basal position makes it an important taxon in u
