| Chassternbergia rugosidens Bakker, 1988 |
Chassternbergia (Bakker, 1988) was named by Robert T. Bakker for an ankylosaurid skull from the Upper Cretaceous of North America. However, this genus is now considered a junior synonym of Edmontonia rugosidens (Gilmore, 1930). The taxon was named in honor of paleontologist Charles Sternberg (1885-1981).
