The story in short
The genus Campylodoniscus dates to 1961, the year H. Haubold and O. Kuhn described it.
It lived in the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian · Turonian), roughly 100.5 to 89.8 million years ago. Finds come from Argentina. It was a herbivore and walked on four legs.
The fossils of Campylodoniscus are too incomplete for a responsible length, hip height, or weight, so those fields are left blank on purpose.
On the family tree it sits in Sauropoda, among the sauropod dinosaurs.
