Crinodon

Crinodon is an extinct genus of microsaur within the family Tuditanidae.[1][2][3] The type and only species C. limnophyes was found in Carboniferous deposits of Nyrany (Czech Republic) and described by M. C. Steen in 1938 as Ricnodon limnophyes.[4] It was assigned to the new genus Crinodon by R. L. Carroll and P. Gaskill in 1978.[5]
