Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox Glyptogenys is a genus of extinct teiid lizard described by Gao and Fox in 1991. It is known from one subtaxa, which is Glyptogenys ornata. It is inferred to be a ground dwelling insectivore-carnivore, which is based on Teiidae, and lived in the Cretaceous of Canada.[1]

Etymology

Glyptogenys means "carved jaw", with "glypto" meaning carved, and "genys" meaning jaw. "Ornata" means ornamented, referencing the sculpture on the external surface of the holotype.[2]

Other information

Its type specimen is UALVP 29735, which is a mandible bearing 12 well-preserved teeth.[3]

The fossil was found near Medicine Hat in Alberta, Canada. The other fossil was found near Dinosaur Provincial Park.[4]
