Aeolodon is an extinct genus of teleosaurid crocodyliform reptile from the Late Jurassic (Tithonian) of Germany. Although previously synonymized with Steneosaurus, recent cladistic analysis considers it distantly related to the Steneosaurus type species.[1][2]
The holotype of Aeolodon priscus was found at Daiting, Bavaria, Germany, in the same quarry that produced the Geosaurus giganteus holotype.[3]
