About

Pararhabdodon (meaning "similar to Rhabdodon" ["bar-tooth"]) is a genus of tsintaosaurin hadrosaurid dinosaur, from the Maastrichtian-age Upper Cretaceous Tremp Formation of Spain. It is based on assorted postcranial remains, mostly vertebrae, and is notable for the reassignments it has undergone in regard to classification.
