Studi Trent. Sci. Nat., Acta Geol., 81 (2004): 5-21 ISSN 0392-0534 © Museo Tridentino di Scienze Naturali, Trento 2006 New dinosaur tracksites from the Sousa Lower Cretaceous basin (Paraíba, Brasil) Giuseppe LEONARDI1* & MariadeFátimaC.F. DOS SANTOS2 1Istituto Cavansi, Dorsoduro 898, I-30123 Venezia, Italy 2Museu Câmara Cascudo, Avenida Hermes da Fonseca 1398, 59015-001 Natal – RN, Brasil *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY - New dinosaur tracksites from the Sousa Lower Cretaceous basin (Paraíba, Brasil) - During our 30th expedition to the Lower Cretaceous Rio do Peixe basins (Paraíba, Northeastern Brasil) the following new dinosaur tracksites were discovered: Floresta dos Borba (theropods, sauropods, ornithopods), Lagoa do Forno (theropods, sauropods), Lagoa do Forno II (one theropod), Várzea dos Ramos II (theropods), Várzea dos Ramos III (theropods). In the previously known sites the following new material was discovered: at Piau, a sauropod trackway; at Serrote do Letreiro a new theropod trackway; at Riacho do Cazé, some sauropod and theropod tracks; at Mãe d’Água, new sauropod, theropod and ornithopods footprints. At Fazenda Paraíso new theropod and sauropod tracks were discov- ered and a new map of the main rocky pavement including theropod tracks is provided here. The farms at Saguim de Cima, Várzea da Jurema, Tabuleiro, Catolé da Piedade (WNW of Sousa, in the Sousa Formation) and at Pau d’Arco (SE of Sousa, in the Piranhas Formation) were explored without results. RIASSUNTO - Nuove piste di dinosauri nel bacino di Sousa (Cretaceo inferiore, Paraíba, Brasile) - Durante la nostra 30ª spedizione ai bacini del Rio do Peixe (Cretaceo inferiore; Paraíba, Brasile nord orientale) sono stati sco- perti i seguenti nuovi siti con piste di dinosauri: Floresta dos Borba (teropodi, sauropodi, ornitopodi), Lagoa do Forno (teropodi, sauropodi), Lagoa do Forno II (un teropodo), Várzea dos Ramos II (teropodi), Várzea dos Ramos III (tero- podi). -

The tracks are preserved in the Helvetiafjellet For- mation (Barremian). A sedimentological characterization of the site indicates that the tracks formed on a beach/margin of a lake or interdistributary bay, and were preserved by flooding. In addition to the two imprints already known from the site, we describe at least 34 additional, pre- viously unrecognized pes and manus prints, including one trackway. Two pes morphotypes and one manus morphotype are recognized. Given the range of morphological variation and the pres- ence of manus tracks, we reinterpret all the prints as being from an ornithopod rather than a thero- pod, as previously described. We assign the smaller (morphotype A, pes; morphotype B, manus) to Caririchnium billsarjeanti. The larger (morphotype C, pes) track is assigned to Caririchnium sp., differing in size and interdigital angle from the two described ichnospecies C. burreyi and C. -
A Review of Large Cretaceous Ornithopod Tracks, with Special Reference to Their Ichnotaxonomy

LOCKLEY1*, LIDA XING2, JEREMY A. F. LOCKWOOD3 and STUART POND3 1Dinosaur Trackers Research Group, University of Colorado at Denver, CB 172, PO Box 173364, Denver, CO 80217-3364, USA 2School of the Earth Sciences and Resources, China University of Geosciences, Beijing 100083, China 3Ocean and Earth Science, National Oceanography Centre, University of Southampton, Southampton SO14 3ZH, UK Received 30 January 2014; revised 12 February 2014; accepted for publication 13 February 2014 Trackways of ornithopods are well-known from the Lower Cretaceous of Europe, North America, and East Asia. For historical reasons, most large ornithopod footprints are associated with the genus Iguanodon or, more generally, with the family Iguanodontidae. Moreover, this general category of footprints is considered to be sufficiently dominant at this time as to characterize a global Early Cretaceous biochron. However, six valid ornithopod ichnogenera have been named from the Cretaceous, including several that are represented by multiple ichnospecies: these are Amblydactylus (two ichnospecies); Caririchnium (four ichnospecies); Iguanodontipus, Ornithopodichnus originally named from Lower Cretaceous deposits and Hadrosauropodus (two ichnospecies); and Jiayinosauropus based on Upper Cretaceous tracks. It has recently been suggested that ornithopod ichnotaxonomy is oversplit and that Caririchnium is a senior subjective synonym of Hadrosauropodus and Amblydactylus is a senior subjective synonym of Iguanodontipus. Although it is agreed that many ornithopod tracks are difficult to differentiate, this proposed synonymy is questionable because it was not based on a detailed study of the holotypes, and did not consider all valid ornithopod ichnotaxa or the variation reported within the six named ichnogenera and 11 named ichnospecies reviewed here. -

Delegación Coyoacán, México Distrito Federal, 04510. [email protected] ABSTRACT For many years the diversity of dinosaurs of Mexico during the Late Cretaceous has been poorly understood. This is due to the limited taxonomical determinations and the abundant undescribed material. This paper presents a new review of the up-to-date osteological record of Late Cretaceous dinosaurs from Mexico, based on published papers, unpublished data and direct observation of the material housed in Mexican paleonto- logical collections and in the field. Some diagnostic dinosaur bones were taxonomically reassigned and oth- ers reported in the literature were located in collections. We document new localities with dinosaur remains in Fronteras Sonora, Manuel Benavides and Jiménez Chihuahua, General Cepeda and Saltillo Coahuila. Additionally we report new material relating to tyrannosaurids, ornithomimids, ankylosaurs, ceratopsids and hadrosaurids which extends their geographic and temporal distribution in Mexico. This investigation has revealed a dinosaur faunal assemblage consistent with others studies of North American Late Cretaceous fau- nas, abundant large bodied dinosaurs and poorly represented small dinosaurs. -

A Tyrannosauroid Metatarsus from the Merchantville Formation of Delaware Increases the Diversity of Non-Tyrannosaurid Tyrannosauroids on Appalachia
A tyrannosauroid metatarsus from the Merchantville Formation of Delaware increases the diversity of non-tyrannosaurid tyrannosauroids on Appalachia Chase D. Brownstein Collections and Exhibitions, Stamford Museum & Nature Center, Stamford, CT, USA ABSTRACT During the Late Cretaceous, the continent of North America was divided into two sections: Laramidia in the west and Appalachia in the east. Although the sediments of Appalachia recorded only a sparse fossil record of dinosaurs, the dinosaur faunas of this landmass were different in composition from those of Laramidia. Represented by at least two taxa (Appalachiosaurus montgomeriensis and Dryptosaurus aquilunguis), partial and fragmentary skeletons, and isolated bones, the non-tyrannosaurid tyrannosauroids of the landmass have attracted some attention. Unfortunately, these eastern tyrants are poorly known compared to their western contemporaries. Here, one specimen, the partial metatarsus of a tyrannosauroid from the Campanian Merchantville Formation of Delaware, is described in detail. The specimen can be distinguished from A. montgomeriensis and D. aquilunguis by several morphological features. As such, the specimen represents a potentially previously unrecognized taxon of tyrannosauroid from Appalachia, increasing the diversity of the clade on the landmass. Phylogenetic analysis and the morphology of the bones suggest the Merchantville specimen is a tyrannosauroid of “intermediate” grade, thus supporting the notion that Appalachia was a refugium Submitted 18 July 2017 for relict dinosaur -

Para este fin, será necesario disponer de modelos virtuales del sistema motor (es decir, el pie, la pierna, etc.) y del sustrato sobre el que el dinosaurio se mueve. Ambos tipos de modelos pueden inferirse, de manera aproximada, a partir de restos fósiles: huesos para los primeros e icnitas (huellas fosilizadas) para los segundos. Por supuesto, existen importantes retos en estos modelos, por ejemplo, el hecho de que un grupo de huesos fósiles (posiblemente incompleto y deteriorado) está muy alejado de un animal articulado que camina, el cual no sólo dispone de huesos y articulaciones, sino también carne, tendones, piel, garras, etc. -
Dinosaur Tracks 2011
The Early Cretaceous (late Berriasian) Bückeberg Formation in the southern Lower Saxony Basin, to Annette Richter, Mike Reich (Eds.) the west and to the south of Hannover, yields abundant and diverse dinosaur tracks, known since the late 1870s. After a few decades of pioneering and discovery, this area was scientifi cally neglected for a long time concerning dinosaur tracks and tracksites, and only single sporadic fi nds were reported in the second half of the 20th century. During 2007 and 2008, a new tracksite was discovered in Dinosaur Tracks 2011 Obernkirchen, yielding an astonishing amount of new and well-preserved dinosaur tracks, cared for by the Hannover State Museum and its cooperational partners. The present volume contains the An International Symposium, abstracts of lectures and posters presented during the Dinosaur Track Symposium 2011 as well as Obernkirchen, April 14-17, 2011 excursion and collection guides. On behalf of the Schaumburger Landschaft, this symposium was held at the medieval Stift Obernkirchen, Germany, from April 14th to 17th, 2011. Nearly one hundred Abstract Volume and Field Guide to Excursions palaeontologists, biologists, geologists and other scientists from sixteen countries participated. Annette Richter, Mike Reich (Eds.)
