Succinodon putzeri (meaning "narrow jaw") was the scientific name given by German paleontologist Friedrich von Huene to a fossil that he attributed to the sauropod family Titanosauridae. It was discovered in late-Cretaceous rock near Warsaw, Poland, in 1941. He believed it to be a jaw bone.

Cryptospores are microscopic fossilized spores produced by embryophytes (land plants). They first appear in the fossil record during the middle of the Cambrian period, as the oldest fossil evidence for the colonization of land by plants. A similar (though broader) category is miospores, a term generally used for spores smaller than 200 μm. Both cryptospores and miospores are types of palynomorphs.
