Greniodon is a genus of extinct gondwanatherian mammal known from the Early to Middle Eocene (Lutetian age, Mustersan to Divisaderan in the SALMA classification) of Argentina. A single species, Greniodon sylvaticus, is known, described in 2012 on the basis of two teeth found in the Andesitas Huancache Formation. It is named after the late Juan Grenier, owner of the “26 de Mayo” farm, and his family, and – odon , from the Greek odontos (tooth). The specific name sylvaticus comes after the Latin sylva, forest, in reference to the inferred paleofloral environment in which the mammal lived.[1][2]
