Aeolodon is an extinct genus of teleosaurid crocodyliform reptile from the Late Jurassic (Tithonian) of Germany and France that was initially named as a species of Crocodylus in 1814.[1] Although previously synonymized with Steneosaurus, recent cladistic analysis considers it distantly related to the Steneosaurus type species[2][3] and the type species is A. priscus, named in 1830[4] and described in 2020.[5]
The holotype of Aeolodon priscus was found in the Mörnsheim Formation of Daiting, Bavaria, Germany, in the same quarry that produced the Geosaurus giganteus holotype[6] and the assigned specimen was discovered in the Canjuers conservation Lagerstätte of Var, France.[5]
