[edit]I cannot find this extinct iguanid and I've looked in several databases. Is there an expert here who can pin this down as either a valid or invalid genus and species? Stick to sources! Paine 10:13, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
Update:
- According to a member of WikiProject Palaeontology, this may very well be an article that is based on an image posted at Deviantart but that is still not published or is hypothetical/made up. Stick to sources! Paine 04:32, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
