Description

Brachychampsa montana Gilmore, 1911

The species is represented by isolated teeth. The genus has not been reported from the Judith River Formation, although teeth similar to those from this formation occur in the Oldman Formation and have been identified by Lambe (1902, p. 48) as Bottosaurus perrugosus Cope (1874, p. 26).
