Memnon () was an Aethiopian king and an ally of the Trojans during the Trojan War. He was a demigod, the son of Tithonus and Eos, the goddess of the dawn. As a warrior, he was considered to be almost Achilles' equal in prowess and skill. During the Trojan War, Memnon himself slew Antilochus in the middle of a fierce battle and was himself later killed by Achilles. The death of Memnon appears to echo that of Hector, another defender of Troy whom Achilles had also slain.

Agustinia is a genus of sauropod dinosaur with a type of armour unique to Agustinia individuals only. It lived about 116 to 100 million years ago in Argentina. The type species (Agustinia lugabuei) is named in honour of Dr. Giancarlo Ligabue, the discoverer of Augustinia. The original generic name was "Augustia", which, as it turned out, was already preoccupied by a beetle (see also: Megapnosaurus, Protognathosaurus).

Sauropods
Dinosauromorpha are a clade of archosaurs that includes dinosaurs and other closely related animals. Birds are the only surviving dinosauromorphs.

The name was coined by Michael J. Benton in 1984. The first clade definitions were by Paul Sereno in 1991. He defined the concept as: 

The last common ancestor of Lagerpeton chanarensis, Marasuchus lilloensis, Pseudolagosuchus major and the Dinosauria (including Aves) and all its descendants.

Another term, with somewhat different coverage is Avemetatarsalia.
