>> Calamospondylus
foxi (Lydekker,1889)
Vertebrae Lydekker wanted to legitimize Fox's Calamospondylus
(witch was published anonymousley, and may not have been described
by Fox
in 1866) so
he renamed the type species Calamospondylus
foxi. Later he changed the name to Calamosaurus foxi. Since
Calamospondylus (Fox,?)
and Calamospondylus (Lydekker,1889)
have different type species and type specimens, they're different
genera with the same name.Calamospondylus
foxi (renamed Calamosaurus foxi), based as it is on two cervical
vertebrae and a referred tibia is not directly comparable to Calamospondylus
oweni and should also be considered a nomen dubium.
