Origin

Comodon does not have a mythological origin. The name Comodon was erected by Kretzoi & Kretzoi (2000) as a replacement name to resolve homonymy after the original genus name Phascolodon (Simpson, 1925), based on a mandible from Como Bluff (USNM 2703), was found to be preoccupied by an earlier 1859 usage. The replacement name literally glosses as 'tooth from Como Bluff' and functions within the conventions of zoological taxonomy.
