Additions to the Early Cretaceous Dinosaur Fauna of Transbaikalia, Eastern Russia
Proceedings of the Zoological Institute RAS Vol. 313, No. 4, 2009, рр. 363–378 УДК: 57.072:551.763 ADDITIONS TO THE EARLY CRETACEOUS DINOSAUR FAUNA OF TRANSBAIKALIA, EASTERN RUSSIA A.O. Averianov1* and P.P. Skutschas2 1Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Universitetskaya Emb. 1, 199034 Saint Petersburg, Russia; e-mail: [email protected] 2Saint Petersburg State University, Universitetskaya Emb. 7/9, 199034 Saint Petersburg, Russia; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Eight dinosaur taxa are currently known from the Early Cretaceous (Barremian-Aptian) Murtoi Formation in the Lake Gusinoe Depression of western Transbaikalia: the theropod Richardoestesia sp.* and indeterminate therizinosauroid, ornithomimosaur and dromaeosaurid material; a titanosauriforme sauropod (cf. Euhelopus), and cf. Mongolosaurus sp.; and an indeterminate ornithopod* and the ceratopsian Psittacosaurus sp. (taxa marked with an asterisk were not reported previously). In the more easterly Chikoi-Khilok Depression the Early Cretaceous (Aptian) Khilok Formation has produced fragmentary remains of four dinosaur taxa: the theropod ‘Prodeinodon’ sp. and an indeterminate dromaeosaurid, an indeterminate titanosauriform (cf. Nemegtosaurus) and an indeterminate ornithopod. The most notable differences between the two faunas are the absence of large carnivorous theropods in the Murtoi Formation and the different composition of the sauropod and, perhaps, the ornithopod faunas in each basin.

Next Meeting: Wednesday, December 9Th... Online!
Dallas Paleontological Society December 2020 Dallas December 2020 Paleontological Society Next meeting: Wednesday, December 9th... Online! FEATHERING UTAHRAPTOR The DPS will have a very special online meeting on Wednesday, De- cember 9th. We will start earlier than normal, at 6:30pm, for a show-and -tell of fossils. We will moderate the session, and each person should limit themselves to one fossil. You are invited to show it live on your web camera, but experiment first to make sure it can be well lit and in focus. If unsure, you could take a photograph and share that instead. DPS ex- perts will help identify it, if needed, so please be willing to share where you found the specimen (general locality). This online sharing will re- place what many of us love about our in-persons meeting, where we all get to see other’s finds and show our own. Then at 7:00pm, the formal meeting will begin, and Dr. James Kirkland, Utah State Paleontologist, will speak on “Feathering Utahraptor,” about the history of dromaeosaurid discoveries, their paleobiology, including the one he named Utahraptor ostrommaysorum. As if that is not fun enough, we will also hold the annual election for DPS board members. Jim received his PhD from the University of Colorado under the supervision of the great Cretaceous stratigrapher and invertebrate paleontologist Erle Kauffman. He taught at the University of Nebraska for two years, then was paleontolo- gist for Dinamation International Society for nine years. He then joined the Utah Geological Survey and became the Utah State Paleontologist, a position he has held for over eighteen years. -
