Obama Has An Extinct Insect Eating Lizard Named After Him

Notice in the illustration a meteorite is falling and about the crush the world, destroy and extinct entire species and devastate life on planet earth...so Obama is a sign of impending doom...fitting...(he is the little blue/teal guy at the bottom left)

Obamadon is known from two lower jaw fragments, each less than a centimeter in length. One was found in the collections of the University of California Museum of Paleontology after having been collected from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana, and the other collected from the Lance Formation in Wyoming. When it was first named in 2012, Obamadon was identified as a member of the extinct group Polyglyphanodontia on the basis of a V-shaped connection between the two halves of the lower jaw, a slot-and-ridge type connection between the dentary bone of the lower jaw and another missing bone called the splenial bone, and teeth that are implanted within the jaw bone. Its jaw is thin and straight, unlike the curved jaws of most other polyglyphanodontians.[2] Obamadon is estimated to have been about 30 cm (1 foot) in length and may have preyed on insects.[8]

Obamadon is a primitive member of Polyglyphanodontia, a clade of lizards that went extinct after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. Its jaw material was once assigned to Leptochamops, a more derived genus of polyglyphanodontian.[2]
