    A Re-Evaluation of the Enigmatic Dinosauriform Caseosaurus Crosbyensis from the Late Triassic of Texas, USA and Its Implications for Early Dinosaur Evolution

    A re-evaluation of the enigmatic dinosauriform Caseosaurus crosbyensis from the Late Triassic of Texas, USA and its implications for early dinosaur evolution MATTHEW G. BARON and MEGAN E. WILLIAMS Baron, M.G. and Williams, M.E. 2018. A re-evaluation of the enigmatic dinosauriform Caseosaurus crosbyensis from the Late Triassic of Texas, USA and its implications for early dinosaur evolution. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 63 (1): 129–145. The holotype specimen of the Late Triassic dinosauriform Caseosaurus crosbyensis is redescribed and evaluated phylogenetically for the first time, providing new anatomical information and data on the earliest dinosaurs and their evolution within the dinosauromorph lineage. Historically, Caseosaurus crosbyensis has been considered to represent an early saurischian dinosaur, and often a herrerasaur. More recent work on Triassic dinosaurs has cast doubt over its supposed dinosaurian affinities and uncertainty about particular features in the holotype and only known specimen has led to the species being regarded as a dinosauriform of indeterminate position. Here, we present a new diagnosis for Caseosaurus crosbyensis and refer additional material to the taxon—a partial right ilium from Snyder Quarry. Our com- parisons and phylogenetic analyses suggest that Caseosaurus crosbyensis belongs in a clade with herrerasaurs and that this clade is the sister taxon of Dinosauria, rather than positioned within it. This result, along with other recent analyses of early dinosaurs, pulls apart what remains of the “traditional” group of dinosaurs collectively termed saurischians into a polyphyletic assemblage and implies that Dinosauria should be regarded as composed exclusively of Ornithoscelida (Ornithischia + Theropoda) and Sauropodomorpha. In addition, our analysis recovers the enigmatic European taxon Saltopus elginensis among herrerasaurs for the first time.

This bonebed lies in a narrow channcl deposit of intrafonnational conglomerate in the Redonda Fonnation. Stratigraphically, this specimen comes from strata identical to the type Apachean land·vertebrate faunachron and thus of Apachean (latest Triassic: latc Norian·Rhaetian) age. The skull lacks most of the snout but is otherwise complete and in excellent condition. As preserved, the skull measures 780 mm long, and was probably 1200 mm or longer in life, making it nearly as large as the holotype of Ru{iodon (- lIfaehaeroprosoprls . ..Smilwlldllls) gngorii, and one of the largest published phytosallr sku ll s. The diagnostic features of Redondasall'us present in the skull include robnst squamosal bars extending posteriorly well beyond the occiput and supratemporal fenestrae that are completely concealed in dorsal view.

On behalf of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department’s Division of State Parks, staff members were extremely helpful in providing access to information and in sharing of their time. The essential staff providing assistance for the development of the RMP included Bruce Divis, Regional Manager of the Western Region, with assistance from other members of the staff throughout OTRD. In particular, assistance was provided by Deby Snodgrass, Kris Marek, and Doug Hawthorne – all from the Oklahoma City office of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. Significant information was also provided by individuals from the Kenton Museum, from the Cimarron County Historical Society, and from Ron Mills, a former manager of Black Mesa State Park. It is the purpose of the Resource Management Plan to be a living document to assist with decisions related to the resources within the park and the management of those resources. The authors’ desire is to assist decision-makers in providing high quality outdoor recreation experiences and resources for current visitors, while protecting the experiences and the resources for future generations.

  • Geology of a Part of Western Texas and Southeast­ Ern New Mexico, with Special Reference to Salt and Potash

    Geology of a Part of Western Texas and Southeast­ Ern New Mexico, with Special Reference to Salt and Potash

    GEOLOGY OF A PART OF WESTERN TEXAS AND SOUTHEAST­ ERN NEW MEXICO, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SALT AND POTASH By H. W. HOOTS PREFACE By J. A. UDDEN : It is with great pleasure that I accept the invitation of the Director of the Geological Survey, Dr. George Otis Smith, to write a brief foreword to this report on the progress of a search for potash in which both the United States Geological Survey and the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology have cooperated for a number of years. It is a search which now appears not to have been in vain. The thought that potash must have been precipitated in the seas in which the salt beds of the Permian accumulated in America has, I presume, been in the minds of all geologists interested in the study of the Permian "Red Beds." The great extent and great thickness of these salt beds early seemed to me a sufficient reason for looking for potash in connection with any explorations of these beds in Texas. On learning, through Mr. W. E. Wrather, in 1911, of the deep boring made by the S. M. Swenson estate at Spur, in Dickens County, I made arrangements, through the generous aid of Mr: C. A. Jones, in charge of the local Swenson interests, to procure specimens of the materials penetrated. It was likewise possible, later on, to obtain a series of 14 water samples from this boring, taken at depths rang­ ing from 800 to 3,000 feet below the surface. These samples were obtained at a tune when the water had been standing undisturbed in the hole for two months, while no drilling had been done.
