  • A Reassessment of the Phylogenetic Position of Cretaceous Sauropod Dinosaurs from Queensland, Australia
    Asociación Paleontológica Argentina. Publicación Especial 7 ISSN 0328-347X VII International Symposium on Mesozoic Terrestrial Ecosystems: 139-144.Buenos Aires, 30-6-2001 A ReasSessmenT of the phylogenetic position of CretaceoUS SaUROPOd dinosaURS from Queensland, Australia Ralph E. MOLNAR1 Abstract. The Cretaceous sauropod material from Queensland, Australia, has been regarded as pertaining to a persistently primitive sauropod lineage (e.g., Coombs and Molnar). The specimens derive from the Toolebuc and Allaru (Albian marine) and Winton (Cenomanian continental) Formations. Recent phyloge- netic analyses carried out by workers in Argentina, the USA and England permit a reassessment of this fragmentary material. As far as can be ascertained from the material, there is no indication from the char- acter states that more than a single taxon is represented. Character states diagnostic of the Titanosauriforrnes, the Titanosauria, the Somphospondyli and the Titanosauridae are present. Thus the Queensland material does not pertain to cetiosaurids but belongs to titanosaurs, extending their range in- to Australia Key words. Sauropods. Austrosaurus. Titanosaurs. Cretaceous. Paleozoogeography. IntroductioN (1998),has made it possible to reassess the phyloge- netic affinities of the Australian Cretaceous sauropod By the 1950's titanosaurs were widely recognized material and address the anomalous absence of ti- both as the latest sauropod group to diversify and as tanosaurs. This paper looks specifically at pre-eminently the sauropods of Gondwanaland.

A well-preserved skull reveals it had a large brain and eyes, which helped it keep watch for predators as s it foraged for plants in the dark of the Antarctic winter. Muttaburrasaurus Dinosaur New research by Dr Matt Herne shows Leaellynasaura (‘lee-allin-ah-sore-ah’) had an extremely long tail. langdoni (1981) of Drs Tom Rich and Patricia Vickers-Rich named Australia the species after their daughter, Leaellyn.

With one partial skeleton and a second skull from QLD and several teeth from Down Under, which ranged NSW, this powerful herbivore could rear-up on Austrosaurus its back legs to reach high foliage and intimidate predators, though it sometimes moved on four (1933) from ferocious carnivores to mckillopi legs too. It had an unusual bulge on its snout, which may have contained an inflatable air sac. herbivorous behemoths. age: Early Cretaceous REGION: QLD SIZE: 15–20m Discovered in north-central Queensland 80 ILLUSTRATIONS BY LIDA XING years ago, Austrosaurus (‘aus-tro-sore-us’) was our first known Cretaceous sauropod.

  • Brains and Intelligence
    BRAINS AND INTELLIGENCE The EQ or Encephalization Quotient is a simple way of measuring an animal's intelligence. EQ is the ratio of the brain weight of the animal to the brain weight of a "typical" animal of the same body weight. Assuming that smarter animals have larger brains to body ratios than less intelligent ones, this helps determine the relative intelligence of extinct animals. In general, warm-blooded animals (like mammals) have a higher EQ than cold-blooded ones (like reptiles and fish). Birds and mammals have brains that are about 10 times bigger than those of bony fish, amphibians, and reptiles of the same body size. The Least Intelligent Dinosaurs: The primitive dinosaurs belonging to the group sauropodomorpha (which included Massospondylus, Riojasaurus, and others) were among the least intelligent of the dinosaurs, with an EQ of about 0.05 (Hopson, 1980). Smartest Dinosaurs: The Troodontids (like Troödon) were probably the smartest dinosaurs, followed by the dromaeosaurid dinosaurs (the "raptors," which included Dromeosaurus, Velociraptor, Deinonychus, and others) had the highest EQ among the dinosaurs, about 5.8 (Hopson, 1980). The Encephalization Quotient was developed by the psychologist Harry J. Jerison in the 1970's. J. A. Hopson (a paleontologist from the University of Chicago) did further development of the EQ concept using brain casts of many dinosaurs. Hopson found that theropods (especially Troodontids) had higher EQ's than plant-eating dinosaurs. The lowest EQ's belonged to sauropods, ankylosaurs, and stegosaurids. A SECOND BRAIN? It used to be thought that the large sauropods (like Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus) and the ornithischian Stegosaurus had a second brain.

Basal titanosauriforms were present in Japan during the Early Cretaceous before Aptian, and there is the possibility that the Brachiosauridae may have been included. Basal titanosauriforms with peg-like teeth were present during the “mid” Cretaceous, while the Titanosauria with peg-like teeth was present during the middle of Late Cretaceous. Recent excavations of Cretaceous sauropods in Asia showed that multiple lineages of sauropods lived throughout the Cretaceous in Asia. Japanese fossil records of sauropods are conformable with this hypothesis. Key words: Sauropod, Titanosauriforms, tooth, Cretaceous, Japan.

  • Re-Description of the Sauropod Dinosaur Amanzia (“Ornithopsis
    Schwarz et al. Swiss J Geosci (2020) 113:2 https://doi.org/10.1186/s00015-020-00355-5 Swiss Journal of Geosciences ORIGINAL PAPER Open Access Re-description of the sauropod dinosaur Amanzia (“Ornithopsis/Cetiosauriscus”) greppini n. gen. and other vertebrate remains from the Kimmeridgian (Late Jurassic) Reuchenette Formation of Moutier, Switzerland Daniela Schwarz1* , Philip D. Mannion2 , Oliver Wings3 and Christian A. Meyer4 Abstract Dinosaur remains were discovered in the 1860’s in the Kimmeridgian (Late Jurassic) Reuchenette Formation of Moutier, northwestern Switzerland. In the 1920’s, these were identifed as a new species of sauropod, Ornithopsis greppini, before being reclassifed as a species of Cetiosauriscus (C. greppini), otherwise known from the type species (C. stewarti) from the late Middle Jurassic (Callovian) of the UK. The syntype of “C. greppini” consists of skeletal elements from all body regions, and at least four individuals of diferent sizes can be distinguished. Here we fully re-describe this material, and re-evaluate its taxonomy and systematic placement. The Moutier locality also yielded a theropod tooth, and fragmen- tary cranial and vertebral remains of a crocodylomorph, also re-described here. “C.” greppini is a small-sized (not more than 10 m long) non-neosauropod eusauropod. Cetiosauriscus stewarti and “C.” greppini difer from each other in: (1) size; (2) the neural spine morphology and diapophyseal laminae of the anterior caudal vertebrae; (3) the length-to-height proportion in the middle caudal vertebrae; (4) the presence or absence of ridges and crests on the middle caudal cen- tra; and (5) the shape and proportions of the coracoid, humerus, and femur.

    ORYCTOS, V ol . 2 : 21 - 37, Décembre 1999 NEW SAUROPOD FROM THE LOWER CRETACEOUS OF UTAH, USA Virginia TIDWELL, Kenneth CARPENTER and William BROOKS Department of Earth and Space Sciences, Denver Museum of Natural History, 2001 Colorado Blvd., Denver, CO 80205, USA. Abstract : The sauropod record for the Lower Cretaceous is poor in North America and consists mostly of iso - lated bones. Recently, however, a partial semiarticulated skeleton of a brachiosaurid, Cedarosaurus weiskopfae n.g., n.sp, was recovered from the Yellow Cat Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation, Utah, USA. The humeral leng - th is almost the same as the femur, while the dorsal and caudal vertebrae, and the metacarpal all display characters that identify the specimen as brachiosaurid. The forelimb and caudal vertebrae distinctly set it apart from all cur - rently described genera in that family. A brief review of Early to Middle Cretaceous brachiosaurs sorts through the confusing jumble of taxa that has developed over the years. In North America, most brachiosaurids found in Lower or Middle Cretaceous strata have historically been referred to the genus Pleurocoelus. The review illustrates the need for a reexamination of Pleurocoelus type material, as well as several specimens referred to that genus. Other material previously assigned to Pleurocoelus may yet prove to be the same as Cedarosaurus weiskopfae . Key words: Lower Cretaceous, brachiosaurid, new taxon, South-central United States. INTRODUCTION and several manus and pes elements. Only the proxi - mal end of the femur was recovered from the left side Until recently remains of Cretaceous sauropods and it is likely that all other elements were eroded in North America have been limited to the advanced away.
