Altispinax von Huene, 1923 [nomen dubium]
Altispinax von Huene, 1923
(Bull. geol. Soc. Amer., 34, 453.
NcZ) "high spine"
AL-ti-SPIEN-aks (Lat. altus "high" + Lat. spina "spine"
+ Gr. -ax [animal name suffix])
(m) genus now restricted to a tooth; von Huene proposed the name for both the tooth
and a group of "Megalosaurus" vertebrae with high back spines, thus the name.
The Greek animal-name ending suffix -ax (as in Platax, Labrax,
Scolopax, etc.) is probably by analogy with Cuvier's shark genus Spinax.
