Remarks: This genus was named in honour of paleontologist, Walther Kühne, pioneer of the [[Guimarota]] site in the late 1950s and early '60s. He began working there as this coalmine ceased its economic life. Just as things started to get really interesting though, he moved on to Galve in Spain. A great deal of resources were invested in excavating Guimarota between 1973 and 1982, under the auspicious of the [[Free University of Berlin]]. Kühne, also of that institution, seems to have felt the money could have been better used elsewhere. Luckily, the investment paid off; 1,000 mammal jaws, a number of skulls, two skeletons and 10,000 or so teeth. It's 20 years later and some of this material has yet to be prepared. The last I heard, they think they’ve got the mammal material sorted out.<br> |

Kuehneodon is a genus of extinct mammal of the Upper Jurassic - Lower Cretaceous of Europe. It was a relatively early member of the also extinct order of Multituberculata. Members of this genus lived alongside such dinosaurs as Allosaurus. It belongs to the suborder "Plagiaulacida", family Paulchoffatiidae. In addition, this genus is the only known member of a subfamily called Kuehneodontinae. It was named by Hahn G. in 1969, the name meaning "Kühne’s tooth" in honor of paleontologist Walther Kühne, pioneer of the Guimarota site of Portugal where remains were found in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Kuehneodon is the one genus of the taxon Paulchoffatiidae from the Guimarota site whereby the lower and upper jaws have been found united. These "exhibit the lowest number of derived characters (apomorphies), and are thus closest to the main evolutionary lineage of the multituberculates" (Hahn & Hahn 2000, p. 106).
The genus is based mainly upon remains of jaw, a number of species are recorded from Guimarota: Kuehneodon dietrichi Hahn G, 1969; K. dryas Hahn G, 1977; K. guimarotensis Hahn G, 1969; K. simpsoni Hahn, 1969 and K. uniradiculatus Hahn, 1978. A further Upper Jurassic, Portuguese locality near Lourinhã, Porto das Barcas, has yielded K. barcasensis Hahn G & Hahn R, 2001. Lower Cretaceous fossils have also been found in Galve, Spain. K. hahni Antunes, 1998 was reported from Paimogo, Lourinhã, by Miguel Telles Antunes.
