👉 Tomognathus is an extinct genus of carnivorous dinosaurs that lived during the late Cretaceous period (commonly known as the Late Cretaceous period). They were characterized by their large, powerful jaws and a distinctive, forked tongue. These dinosaurs are often associated with the dinosaur family Phrynosauridae, which includes other carnivorous animals such as Tyrannosaurus rex, Velociraptor, and Diplodocus.
