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.)

The conference took place at the historical Protestant monastery in Obernkirchen and, therefore, we are deeply grateful to Abbess Wöbbeking, the landlady, for her hospitality and patience while accommodating the symposium for four central days and quite a few more during the preparatory work: Some parts of the monastery are more than 800 years old. Of course, 800 years may mean almost nothing to palaeontologists, compared to the millions of years that were dealt with during this symposium. Nevertheless, all our guests were pleased to be, and enjoyed their stay, in this charming old building. When the spectacular new dinosaur track finds occurred at Obernkirchen, the idea to organize an international symposium came up immediately. The “Schaumburger Landschaft”, which is a foundation dedicated to the support of culture in our region, quickly decided to initiate a project in support of the museum which was the scientific partner in raising funds for the meeting. For the Schaumburger Landschaft, it is an honour to have hosted this event just after the completion of the first steps of field documentation. Arriving from all over the world, the conference members brought international renown and sparkle to the symposium and the region of Schaumburg during these exciting days. Therefore, we would like to thank all the attendees for the interest they have expressed, and especially those who travelled thousands of miles in order to make a personal contribution to the success of our event. We are sure that all of the participants returned home from this conference with a vast amount of new experience and knowledge. A symposium requires a great deal of preparation as well as a perfect organization. It also costs quite a lot of money. Therefore, on behalf of both the “Schaumburger Landschaft” and the “Niedersächsisches Landesmuseum Hannover”, we would like to thank our sponsors: the “Stiftung Niedersachsen”, the foundation of Lower Saxony, represented by Secretary General Joachim Werren, the “Sparkassenstiftung Schaumburg”, our regional bank, represented by Director Rolf Watermann and the “Klosterkammer Hannover”, a foundation responsible among others for the monasteries of Lower Saxony. Aside from the very important financial promotion, it is obvious that without the permanent support of the “Obernkirchener Sandsteinbrüche GmbH” (Obern- kirchen Sandstone Quarries) and especially their owner, Mr Klaus Köster, we would have had no knowledge of the new tracks. Moreover, there would not have been a symposium at all. 7 Preface Dinosaur Tracks 2011 – Obernkirchen, April 14-17, 2011 We would also like to express our gratitude for all their fantastic support to the cooperational partners of the museum: the Geoscience Museum as well as the Department of Geobiology of the University of Göttingen and the “Dinosaurier- freilichtmuseum Münchehagen/Dinopark”. Even though the symposium was to be a specialists’ conference, we had decided to invite the general public to Obernkirchen on the first evening. Taking account of the fact g that dinosaurs are a highly interesting topic not only for children but also for a number of adults, we added Professor Dr Haubold's public lecture to the programme on the first evening. Since a symposium must not only consist of professional work and discussions, we carried out a spectacular illumination of the quarry of Obernkirchen on the second evening of the symposium.

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.

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.

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.

Read Full License Page 1/23 Abstract Theropod behaviour and biodynamics are intriguing questions that paleontology has been trying to resolve for a long time. The lack of extant groups with similar bipedalism has made it hard to answer some of the questions on the matter, yet theoretical biomechanical models have shed some light on the question of how fast theropods could run and what kind of movement they showed. The study of dinosaur tracks can help answer some of these questions due to the very nature of tracks as a product of the interaction of these animals with the environment. Two trackways belonging to fast-running theropods from the Lower Cretaceous Enciso Group of Igea (La Rioja) are presented here and compared with other fast-running theropod trackways published to date.

  • The Giant Pliosaurid That Wasn't—Revising the Marine Reptiles From
    The giant pliosaurid that wasn’t—revising the marine reptiles from the Kimmeridgian, Upper Jurassic, of Krzyżanowice, Poland DANIEL MADZIA, TOMASZ SZCZYGIELSKI, and ANDRZEJ S. WOLNIEWICZ Madzia, D., Szczygielski, T., and Wolniewicz, A.S. 2021. The giant pliosaurid that wasn’t—revising the marine reptiles from the Kimmeridgian, Upper Jurassic, of Krzyżanowice, Poland. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 66 (1): 99–129. Marine reptiles from the Upper Jurassic of Central Europe are rare and often fragmentary, which hinders their precise taxonomic identification and their placement in a palaeobiogeographic context. Recent fieldwork in the Kimmeridgian of Krzyżanowice, Poland, a locality known from turtle remains originally discovered in the 1960s, has reportedly provided additional fossils thought to indicate the presence of a more diverse marine reptile assemblage, including giant pliosaurids, plesiosauroids, and thalattosuchians. Based on its taxonomic composition, the marine tetrapod fauna from Krzyżanowice was argued to represent part of the “Matyja-Wierzbowski Line”—a newly proposed palaeobiogeographic belt comprising faunal components transitional between those of the Boreal and Mediterranean marine provinces. Here, we provide a de- tailed re-description of the marine reptile material from Krzyżanowice and reassess its taxonomy. The turtle remains are proposed to represent a “plesiochelyid” thalassochelydian (Craspedochelys? sp.) and the plesiosauroid vertebral centrum likely belongs to a cryptoclidid. However, qualitative assessment and quantitative analysis of the jaws originally referred to the colossal pliosaurid Pliosaurus clearly demonstrate a metriorhynchid thalattosuchian affinity. Furthermore, these me- triorhynchid jaws were likely found at a different, currently indeterminate, locality. A tooth crown previously identified as belonging to the thalattosuchian Machimosaurus is here considered to represent an indeterminate vertebrate.
