Here we report on the composition of the Cliffs of Insanity (COI) microvertebrate locality, a newly sampled site containing perhaps one of the densest concentrations of microvertebrate fossils yet discovered in the Mussentuchit Member. The COI locality preserves osteichthyan, lissamphibian, testudinatan, mesoeucrocodylian, dinosaurian, metatherian, and trace fossil remains and is among the most taxonomically rich microvertebrate localities in the Mussentuchit Submitted 30 May 2018 fi fi Accepted 8 October 2018 Member.

  • The Fauna from the Tyrannosaurus Rex Excavation, Frenchman Formation (Late Maastrichtian), Saskatchewan
    The Fauna from the Tyrannosaurus rex Excavation, Frenchman Formation (Late Maastrichtian), Saskatchewan Tim T. Tokaryk 1 and Harold N. Bryant 2 Tokaryk, T.T. and Bryant, H.N. (2004): The fauna from the Tyrannosaurus rex excavation, Frenchman Formation (Late Maastrichtian), Saskatchewan; in Summary of Investigations 2004, Volume 1, Saskatchewan Geological Survey, Sask. Industry Resources, Misc. Rep. 2004-4.1, CD-ROM, Paper A-18, 12p. Abstract The quarry that contained the partial skeleton of the Tyrannosaurus rex, familiarly known as “Scotty,” has yielded a diverse faunal and floral assemblage. The site is located in the Frenchman River valley in southwestern Saskatchewan and dates from approximately 65 million years, at the end of the Cretaceous Period. The faunal assemblage from the quarry is reviewed and the floral assemblage is summarized. Together, these assemblages provide some insight into the biological community that lived in southwestern Saskatchewan during the latest Cretaceous. Keywords: Frenchman Formation, Maastrichtian, Late Cretaceous, southwestern Saskatchewan, Tyrannosaurus rex. 1. Introduction a) Geological Setting The Frenchman Formation, of latest Maastrichtian age, is extensively exposed in southwestern Saskatchewan (Figure 1; Fraser et al., 1935; Furnival, 1950). The lithostratigraphic units in the formation consist largely of fluvial sandstones and greenish grey to green claystones. Outcrops of the Frenchman Formation are widely distributed in the Frenchman River valley, southeast of Eastend. Chambery Coulee, on the north side of the valley, includes Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) locality 72F07-0022 (precise locality data on file with the RSM), the site that contained the disarticulated skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus rex. McIver (2002) subdivided the stratigraphic sequence at this locality into “lower” and “upper” beds.

  • Cranial Anatomy of the Earliest Marsupials and the Origin of Opossums
    Cranial Anatomy of the Earliest Marsupials and the Origin of Opossums Ine´s Horovitz1*, Thomas Martin2, Jonathan Bloch3, Sandrine Ladeve`ze4¤, Cornelia Kurz5, Marcelo R. Sa´nchez-Villagra4* 1 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, United States of America, 2 Steinmann-Institut fu¨r Geologie, Mineralogie und Pala¨ontologie, Universita¨t Bonn, Bonn, Germany, 3 Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, United States of America, 4 Palaeontologisches Institut und Museum, Zu¨rich, Switzerland, 5 Naturkundemuseum im Ottoneum Kassel, Kassel, Germany Abstract Background: The early evolution of living marsupials is poorly understood in part because the early offshoots of this group are known almost exclusively from jaws and teeth. Filling this gap is essential for a better understanding of the phylogenetic relationships among living marsupials, the biogeographic pathways that led to their current distribution as well as the successive evolutionary steps that led to their current diversity, habits and various specializations that distinguish them from placental mammals. Methodology/Principal Findings: Here we report the first skull of a 55 million year old peradectid marsupial from the early Eocene of North America and exceptionally preserved skeletons of an Oligocene herpetotheriid, both representing critical groups to understand early marsupial evolution. A comprehensive phylogenetic cladistic analysis of Marsupialia including the new findings and close relatives of marsupials show that peradectids are the sister group of living opossums and herpetotheriids are the sister group of all living marsupials. Conclusions/Significance: The results imply that North America played an important role in early Cenozoic marsupial evolutionary history and may have even been the center of origin of living marsupials and opossums.

  • Mammalia: Metatheria) from the Early Paleocene (Torrejonian) Nacimiento Formation, San Juan Basin, New Mexico, USA
    Palaeontologia Electronica http://palaeo-electronica.org New species of Peradectes and Swaindelphys (Mammalia: Metatheria) from the Early Paleocene (Torrejonian) Nacimiento Formation, San Juan Basin, New Mexico, USA Thomas E. Williamson and Louis H. Taylor ABSTRACT Three new metatherian taxa are reported from the early Paleocene (Torrejonian) of the Nacimiento Formation, San Juan Basin, New Mexico; two new species of Swain- delphys, S. encinensis and S. johansoni, and one new species of Peradectes, P. coprexeches. Most of the new specimens consist of isolated teeth. Both new species of Swaindelphys are larger than S. cifellii, previously the only reported species of Swaindelphys, and the first report of this genus outside of Wyoming. S. johansoni is approximately intermediate in size between S. encinensis and S. cifellii. P. coprex- eches is nearly the same size as P. elegans, but differs in the more buccally expanded and convex outline of the upper molar metastylar lobe, and relatively larger stylar cusp C. This provides new information on early Paleocene metatherian morphology and significantly increases their known diversity. New significant morphology reported here includes that of a dP3 not previously reported for early Paleocene metatherians. More- over, this study helps to clarify taxonomic issues related to the validity of other Paleo- cene metatherians and is relevant to the origins and morphology of basal Herpetotheriidae and Peradectidae.

As initially designated in 2016, BENM encompassed 1.3 million acres of land with exceptionally fossiliferous rock units. Subsequently, in December 2017, presidential action reduced BENM to two smaller management units (Indian Creek and Shash Jáá). Although the paleontological resources of BENM are extensive and abundant, they have historically been under-studied. Here, we summarize prior paleontological work within the original BENM boundaries in order to provide a complete picture of the paleontological resources, and synthesize the data which were used to support paleontological resource protection.

PHILLIPS* , JOHN A. HOWELL†,ADRIANJ.HARTLEY† , MAGDA CHMIELEWSKA† and SAMUEL M. HUDSON* *Department of Geological Sciences, S389 Eyring Science Center, Provo, UT, 84602, USA †Department of Geology and Petroleum Geology, University of Aberdeen, Meston Building, Aberdeen, AB24 3UE, UK (E-mail: [email protected]) Associate Editor – Christopher Fielding ABSTRACT An analysis of the sedimentary fill of a foreland basin can provide informa- tion on the relative effect of tectonics, base-level fluctuations and climate during basin development. This study analyzes fluvial strata from the upper Cedar Mountain and Naturita formations of the mid-Cretaceous foreland basin of Utah (USA) to determine the effects of spatial location within the foreland basin on fluvial planform and architecture. The study results docu- ment consistent planform and architecture across the distal foredeep and forebulge depozones during flooding of the Western Interior Seaway suggest- ing that fluvial planform and architecture did not change as a function of position within foreland basin depozone or as a result of base-level rise. Out- crop data, virtual outcrop models and satellite imagery were used to perform facies and architectural analysis and to collect dimensional and geometric data. Fluvial channel deposits consist of coarse-grained, laterally accreting bars deposited within narrow, low to moderate sinuosity channels, that were vertically stacked and encased in floodplain fines regardless of geographic location or stratigraphic position and may represent distal deposits of a dis- tributive fluvial system.

  • An Inventory of Non-Avian Dinosaurs from National Park Service Areas
    Lucas, S.G. and Sullivan, R.M., eds., 2018, Fossil Record 6. New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin 79. 703 AN INVENTORY OF NON-AVIAN DINOSAURS FROM NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AREAS JUSTIN S. TWEET1 and VINCENT L. SANTUCCI2 1National Park Service, 9149 79th Street S., Cottage Grove, MN 55016 -email: [email protected]; 2National Park Service, Geologic Resources Division, 1849 “C” Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20240 -email: [email protected] Abstract—Dinosaurs have captured the interest and imagination of the general public, particularly children, around the world. Paleontological resource inventories within units of the National Park Service have revealed that body and trace fossils of non-avian dinosaurs have been documented in at least 21 National Park Service areas. In addition there are two historically associated occurrences, one equivocal occurrence, two NPS areas with dinosaur tracks in building stone, and one case where fossils have been found immediately outside of a monument’s boundaries. To date, body fossils of non- avian dinosaurs are documented at 14 NPS areas, may also be present at another, and are historically associated with two other parks. Dinosaur trace fossils have been documented at 17 NPS areas and are visible in building stone at two parks. Most records of NPS dinosaur fossils come from park units on the Colorado Plateau, where body fossils have been found in Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous rocks at many locations, and trace fossils are widely distributed in Upper Triassic and Jurassic rocks. Two NPS units are particularly noted for their dinosaur fossils: Dinosaur National Monument (Upper Triassic through Lower Cretaceous) and Big Bend National Park (Upper Cretaceous).
