Abstract;An isolated choristoderan dentary is described from the Lower Cretaceous Okurodani Formation, Tetori Group, of Japan. The dentary was collected from the locality where the holotype of Shokawa ikoi was found, and is most likely to belong to that species. Only two fragmentary dentaries have been provisionally assigned to S. ikoi. This is the first report of an almost complete choristoderan dentary from Japan. (author abst.)
