Socognathus is a genus of prehistoric chamopsiid polyglyphanodontian lizards[1] containing species that lived from the Middle Campanian stage to the late Maastrichtian. Several specimens of the type species, Socognathus unicuspis, have been found in Alberta, Canada.[2][3] A second species, Socognathus brachyodon is known from the late Maastrichtian Lance Formation; its fossils have been found in Wyoming, United States.[1][4]
