Echinodon becklesii

† Echinodon becklesii is the type species of Echinodon, a tiny heterodontosaurid dinosaur from the Berriasian (Early Cretaceous) Purbeck Formation of Dorset, England. Named after fossil collector Samuel Beckles, it is known from isolated teeth and fragmentary jaw material described by Owen in 1861. With conspicuous canine-like fangs and small cheek teeth, it likely processed both plant matter and invertebrates. It is one of the geologically youngest and smallest known heterodontosaurids.
