Camptosaurus Marsh, 1885

Camptosaurus Marsh, 1885 (Amer. J. Sci., (3) 29, 169. NcZ) "flexible (back) lizard"
KAMP-to-SAWR-us (Gr. kamptos "flexible" + Gr. sauros "lizard")* (m) replacment name based on preoccupied Camptonotus Marsh, 1879, to refer to the sacral (hip) vertebrae, which were supposedly not fused together as typically found in dinosaurs, but instead had a "peculiar peg-and-notch articulation." Some specimens later described by Gilmore had fused sacral vertebrae, making the name Camptosaurus something of a misnomer according to Marsh's original description. (To replace preoccupied Camptonotus Marsh, 1879 NcZ.) Ornithopoda Camptosauridae L. Jur. - E. Cret. NA. Eur.
