Arctotraversodon is an extinct genus of traversodontid cynodonts from the Late Triassic of Canada. Fossils first described from the Wolfville Formation in Nova Scotia in 1984 represented the first known traversodontid from North America.[1] The type and only species is A. plemmyridon and is represented by teeth and several dentary bones.
