Mochlodon vorosi
Taxonomy
Mochlodon vorosi was named by Osi et al. (2012) [urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:0C76CFEA-53E7-44E2-82D8-73DE0A7C21AE]. Its type specimen is MTM V 2010.105.1, a mandible (left complete dentary with four broken teeth), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Iharkút mine, Bakony mountains (Unit 1), which is in a Santonian crevasse splay claystone/sandstone in the Csehbánya Formation of Hungary.

Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| A. Osi et al. 2012 | Mochlodon vorosi n. sp. differs from Mochlodon suessi in having a dentary with a markedly deeper depression just below the coronoid process that becomes transversely shallower but dorsoventrally wider toward the dentary–surangular suture. The rostral tip of the dentary is directed rostrally (rather than being rostroventrally directed as in M. suessi), such that the dorsal margin of the symphyseal region is horizontal and thus close to the level of the alveolar margin. This difference can also be observed between the smallest dentary of M. vorosi and the lectotype of M. suessi confirming a genuine taxonomical rather than ontogenetic feature. The groove on the dorsal margin of the symphyseal region is bordered caudally by a dorsally rounded vertical wall that separates the first alveolus from the symphyseal region. Mochlodon vorosi can further be distinguished from species of Rhabdodon and Zalmoxes in that the proximal end of the quadrate of M. vorosi is strongly curved caudally (directed caudodorsally at c. 60 degrees to the vertical plane) compared to that of Zalmoxes robustus (c. 45 degrees), Zalmoxes shqiperorum (c. 20 degrees) and Rhabdodon sp. (c. 25 degrees in specimen MC 397). |
