Marie Pincemaille-Quillevéré, Description of a partial skeleton of Rhabdodon priscus (Euornithopoda) from the Upper Cretaceous of Vitrolles (Bouches du Rhône, France). Oryctos 4, 39-70.
An incomplete partially articulated skeleton of the ornithopod dinosaur Rhabdodon priscus Matheron, 1869, has been discovered in the lower Maastrichtian of Vitrolles (Bouches du Rhône, France). The description of its remains allows us to clarify the diagnosis of Rhabdodon priscus. This study also provides discussion on the systematic placement of Rhabdodon priscus within the Euornithopoda. Numerous anatomical characters suggest that it is closely related to Tenontosaurus tilletti, a Lower Cretaceous basal iguanodontian from North America.
