Bubodens magnus is a poorly understood, extinct multituberculate mammal from the Upper Cretaceous of South Dakota. It is known only from a single tooth, and has uncertain placement within the suborder Cimolodonta though has been tentatively argued to belong to Taeniolabidoidea.[3] Based on the dimensions of its molar, this species was estimated to have weighed around 5.25 kilograms (11.6 lb).[4]
