Eric Buffetaut, An Iguanodon jaw (Dinosauria, Ornithopoda) from the Lower Cretaceous of Aube (eastern Paris Basin, France). Oryctos 5, 63-68
A dentary fragment in the collections of the Troyes Natural History Museum is described and identified as Iguanodon sp. The specimen was found sometime during the nineteenth century at Bernon, a village in the “Champagne humide” about 36 km south of Troyes. The matrix shows that this jaw fragment comes from the Hauterivian Calcaire à Spatangues, a shallow marine limestone which has yielded Iguanodon remains at other places in the eastern Paris Basin. The specimen is interpreted as an element of a floating carcass originating from a nearby land mass.
