Although the tooth was Accepted 12 May, 2020 misidentified as a "Prodeinodon"-like megalosaurid theropod at the first time, detailed comparisons with known theropod dentition anatomy strongly indicate that this tooth belongs to an Acrocanthosaurus-like basal carcharodontosaurid theropod. This referral is supported by its combination of large size, ovoid-shaped cervix outline, mesial carina that does not reach the cervix, labially displaced distal carina and large number of denticles. This tooth is different from other carcharodontosaurid teeth from the same formation in several anatomical aspects (e.g., smaller overall size, presence of transverse lines adjacent to the distal carina, presence of interdenticular sulci in distal carina, denticle densities, crown basal ratio), indicating that carcharodontosaurid diversity in the Early Cretaceous of Korea could have been higher, although these differences may represent positional or individual variations. The presence of Acrocanthosaurus-like theropod teeth (e.g., "Prodeinodon", "Wakinosaurus") from early Cretaceous deposits (Valanginian-Cenomanian) of South Korea, Japan, Mongolia and China indicates that North American Acrocanthosaurus atokensis possibly represents a form that immigrated from the Asia.

Particularly noteworthy is that pterosaur tracks are commonly found in this area, although pterosaur tracks are generally rare compared to dinosaur tracks in other areas. Besides, the pterosaur tracks in this site vary widely in their morphology, size, and degree of preservation. Here we report new pterosaur tracks and trackway which are very small and well-preserved among various pterosaur tracks. Manus imprints have average values of 27.8 mm long, 9.0 mm wide, and 3.2 length/width ra- tio. Pes prints show average values of 27.7 mm long, 13.2 mm wide, and 2.1 length/width ratio. Small-sized (< 5 cm) footprints of pterosaur are rarely occurred around the world. At present, only four ichnospecies reported in the East Asia and Europe are valid: Pteraichnus koreanensis (Hasandong Formation, Korea), P.

Sudo (2) (1)Department of Geology, National University of Ireland, Cork, Ireland (2)Institut für Geowissenschaften, Universität Potsdam, 14415 Potsdam, Germany. [email protected] The Upper Devonian Old Red Sandstone (ORS) clastic sedimentary rocks of the Mun- ster Basin of southern Ireland can yield valuable information on the timing of Late Palaeozoic orogenic events in the region. The Munster Basin was an intra-continental half-graben extending from the Dingle Peninsula in the west to the Commeragh Moun- tains in the east with a maximum fill thickness of >7 kilometres at its north-western depocentre. Basin initiation is constrained as pre-385 Ma and the subsequent basin fill was dominated by continental siltstones and sandstones. Textural and modal analy- sis of the sequence indicates that they are mature to supermature, sub-litharenites to quartz arenites. Previous models for the Munster Basin describe it as a classic mol- lasse deposit with the sediment derived from a Caledonian orogenic edifice to the north (Friend et al. 2000). In this study we present two new potential models for sediment provenance in the Munster Basin based on the 40Ar/39Ar step-heating and 40Ar/39Ar Ultra Violet Laser Ablation (UVLA) of detrital white micas. The step-heating analysis of white mica separates yielded ages in the range of 404 ± 1.5 Ma to 388 ± 1.5 Ma, with an average age of 394 Ma.

  • Dinosaur Track-Bearing Deposits of the Cretaceous Gyeongsang Su- Pergroup, Korea: Stratigraphic Occurrences and Paleoecological Implications
    Hallesches Jahrbuch für Geowissenschaften, Beiheft 46 (2019) 77 Dinosaur track-bearing deposits of the Cretaceous Gyeongsang Su- pergroup, Korea: Stratigraphic occurrences and paleoecological implications IN SUNG PAIK1* & HYUN JOO KIM1 1 Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Pukyong National University, Address, 83516 Busan, Korea *presenting author, [email protected] Abstract: Dinosaur track-bearing deposits are common in the Cretaceous Gyeongsang Supergroup (Hauteri-vi- an to Maastrichtian) (Fig. 1), Korea. The Gyeongsang Supergroup consists of alluvial fan, fluvial plain, and lacustrine deposits and is composed of a variety of siliciclastic and tuffaceous rocks, some car- bonates and evaporites. The dinosaur track-bearing deposits of the Gyeongsang Supergroup show variation in stratigraphic occurrences. Whereas dinosaur bone fossils occur in the lowermost Nak- dong Formation (alluvial fan with some ponds) and are common in the overlying Hasandong For- mation (fluvial with some lakes), dinosaur tracks are absent in the Nakdong Formation and scarcely present in the Hasandong Formation. Body fossils of dinosaurs are very rare throughout the Gyeo- ngsang Supergroup except the Hasandong Formation, however, dinosaur tracks are common in the upper part of the Jinju Formation (lacustrine), the Haman Formation (alluvial plain with some ponds) and the Jindong Formation (alluvial plain and playa lakes). It is unusual that dinosaur tracks are ab- sent in the Chilgok Formation overlying the Jinju Formation in spite of its similar depositional setting to that of the Haman Foramtion. In the pyroclastic deposit-dominated Yucheon Group (the upper- most Group) overlying the Jindong Formation dinosaur tracks are very rare. In summary the occur- rences of dinosaur tracks in the Gyeongsang Supergroup shows the recurrent pattern of increase and decrease in abundance and a preferred occurrence in lake-related deposits rather than in alluvial fan and fluvial sediments.

LOCKLEY2, HENDRIK KLEIN3, JIANPING ZHANG1, and W. SCOTT PERSONS IV4 1School of the Earth Sciences and Resources, China University of Geosciences, Beijing 100083, China; -email: [email protected]; 2Dinosaur Tracks Museum, University of Colorado Denver, P.O. Box 173364, Denver, CO 80217; 3Saurierwelt Paläontologisches Museum Alte Richt 7, D-92318 Neumarkt, Germany; 4Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, 11455 Saskatchewan Drive, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2E9, Canada Abstract—Ornithischian- and theropod-dominated footprint assemblages from the Lower Jurassic Lufeng Formation of Yunnan Province, China, differ significantly from the skeletal record of the same region. Ornithischian tracks assigned to Shenmuichnus wangi are the most common track type (52%), while small Anomoepus-type tracks account for 31%. Large Eubrontes-like theropod tracks make up about 17% of the assemblage. The track record of the Lufeng Basin currently lacks evidence corresponding to basal sauropodomorphs and basal sauropods, even though they are the most abundant skeletal fossils. INTRODUCTION Diplocraterion belongs to the Skolithos ichnofacies, which is The Lufeng Basin of China contains many wide exposures of mainly preserved in high energy, shallow marine substrates (Cornish, Mesozoic continental red beds rich in dinosaur and other vertebrate 1986; Šimo and Olšavský, 2007). In southern Sweden, Diplocraterion fossils, making the Lufeng Basin among the most famous dinosaur field is also associated with some Early Jurassic tracks (Gierliński and research sites in the world (Dong, 1992; Luo and Wu, 1995).

The trackways occur at three sites – Dohilla, Received in revised form 18 August 2016 Coosadillisk and Culoo Head – the latter two being recorded for the first time. Morphological and taphonomic Accepted 27 August 2016 analyses of the trackways suggest they were made by populations of similar tetrapods, but of varying size Available online 30 August 2016 (body length = 0.5 to 1 m; width = 0.15 to 0.30 m), that moved in some cases by terrestrial locomotion and in others possibly by a slow “paddling gait” while the substrate was submerged by very shallow floodwater. Sed- Keywords: fi tetrapod imentological facies analysis of the trackway-bearing sequences has been carried out for the rst time and shows trackway that the preserved trackways are associated with the late stages of (1) a principal river channel margin Valentia Island (Coosadillisk), (2) a minor floodplain drainage channel (Culoo Head) and (3) a sand-rich crevasse splay/medial Givetian alluvial-ridge environment (Dohilla).
