    A new carcharodontosaurid (Dinosauria, Theropoda) from the Upper Cretaceous of Argentina Rodolfo A. CORIA CONICET, Museo Carmen Funes, Av. Córdoba 55, 8318 Plaza Huincul, Neuquén (Argentina) [email protected] Philip J. CURRIE University of Alberta, Department of Biological Sciences, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2E9 (Canada) [email protected] Coria R. A. & Currie P. J. 2006. — A new carcharodontosaurid (Dinosauria, Theropoda) from the Upper Cretaceous of Argentina. Geodiversitas 28 (1) : 71-118. ABSTRACT A new carcharodontosaurid theropod from the Huincul Formation (Aptian- Cenomanian, Upper Cretaceous) of Neuquén Province, Argentina, is described. Approximately the same size as Giganotosaurus carolinii Coria & Salgado, 1995, Mapusaurus roseae n. gen., n. sp. is characterized by many features including a deep, short and narrow skull with relatively large triangular antorbital fossae, relatively small maxillary fenestra, and narrow, unfused rugose nasals. Mapu- saurus roseae n. gen., n. sp. has cervical neural spines and distally tapering epipo- physes, tall dorsal neural spines, central pleurocoels as far back as the first sacral vertebra, accessory caudal neural spines, stout humerus with poorly defined distal condyles, fused metacarpals, ilium with brevis fossa extending deeply into ischial peduncle, and femur with low fourth trochanter. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that Mapusaurus n. gen. shares with Carcharodontosaurus Stromer, 1931 and Giganotosaurus Coria & Salgado, 1995 several derived features that include narrow blade-like teeth with wrinkled enamel, heavily sculptured fa- cial bones, supraorbital shelf formed by a postorbital/palpebral complex, and a dorsomedially directed femoral head. Remains of Mapusaurus n. gen. were recovered from a bonebed where 100% of the identifiable dinosaur bones can KEY WORDS be assigned to this new genus.

  • The Origin and Evolution of the Dinosaur Infraorder Carnosauria*
    PALEONTOLOGICHESKIY ZHURNAL 1989 No. 4 KURZANOV S. M. THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF THE DINOSAUR INFRAORDER CARNOSAURIA* Paleontological Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR Based on a revision of the systematic composition of the carnosaur families, a new diagram of the phylogenetic relationships within the infraorder is proposed. The question of carnosaurs cannot be considered to be resolved. Excluding the Triassic forms, carnosaurs in the broad or narrow sense have always been considered to be a group of theropods because they are only slightly different from them in fundamental features associated with large body size and a predatory lifestyle. The Late Triassic genera, such as Teratosaurus and Sinosaurus [33], were assigned to these on the basis of extremely meager material and without sufficient justification. This assignment has subsequently been rejected by most authors [13, 16, 17, 24, 25]. Huene [23] suggested that, along with the Sauropoda and Prosauropoda, the carnosaurs form a natural group Pachypodosauria, within which they are thought to be direct descendants of the prosauropods (the carnosaurs proceed directly from Teratosaurus through Magnosaurus). Studies of abundant cranial material (which actually belongs to Sellosaurus gracilis Huene) gave reason to think that the first species had been a prosauropod, whereas typical material (maxilla, ischium) belong to thecodonts from the family Poposauridae [24]. Huene’s diagram, which initially did not receive support, was widely propagated by the discovery of an unusual carnosaur Torvosaurus tanneri Galton et Jensen in the Upper Triassic deposits of Colorado [25]. The exceptionally plesiomorphic nature of some of its features, in the authors’ opinion, gave sufficient justification for removing them from the prosauropods.

Middle Jurassic tetanurans are rare but have been described from Europe, South America and China. In particular, China has yielded a number of potential basal tetanurans, but these have received little detailed treatment in the literature. Here we redescribe the postcranial skeleton of one of the most complete Chinese Middle Jurassic theropods, Monolophosaurus. Several features confirm the tetanuran affinities of Monolophosaurus, but the possession of ‘primitive’ traits such as a double-faceted pubic peduncle of the ilium and a hood-like supracetabular crest suggest a basal position within Tetanurae. This conflicts with most published cladistic analyses that place Monolophosaurus in a more derived position within Allosauroidea.

  • New Data on Small Theropod Dinosaurs from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Como Bluff, Wyoming, USA
    Volumina Jurassica, 2014, Xii (2): 181–196 Doi: 10.5604/17313708 .1130142 New data on small theropod dinosaurs from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Como Bluff, Wyoming, USA Sebastian G. DALMAN1 Key words: dinosaurs, Theropoda, Upper Jurassic, Morrison Formation, Como Bluff, Wyoming, western USA. Abstract. In 1879, Othniel C. Marsh and Arthur Lakes collected in the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation Quarry 12 at Como Bluff, Wyoming, USA, several isolated axial and appendicular skeletal elements of small theropod dinosaurs. Since the discovery the specimens remained unnoticed for over a century. The skeletal remains of small theropods are rare at Como Bluff and throughout the Morrison Forma- tion. Their bones are delicately constructed, so they are not as well-preserved as the bones of large-bodied theropods. The bones of small theropods described here were found mixed with isolated crocodile teeth and turtle shells. Comparison of the skeletal materials with other known theropods from the Morrison Formation reveals that some of the bones belong to a very small juvenile Allosaurus fragilis and Tor­ vosaurus tanneri and also to a new ceratosaur taxon, here named Fosterovenator churei, whereas the other bones represent previously unidentified juvenile taxa of basal tetanuran and coelurid theropods. The discovery and description of these fossil materials is significant because they provide important information about the Upper Jurassic terrestrial fauna of Quarry 12, Como Bluff, Wyoming. The presence of previously unidentified theropod taxa in the Morrison Formation indicates that the diversity of basal tetanuran and coelurid theropods may have been much greater than previously expected. Although the fossil material here described is largely fragmentary, it is tenable that theropods of different clades co-existed in the same ecosystems at the same time and most likely competed for the same food sources.

Benton1 1Department of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol, Bristol BS8 1RJ, UK 2Department of Zoology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK One of the ultimate aims of systematics is the reconstruction of the tree of life. This is a huge undertaking that is inhibited by the existence of a computational limit to the inclusiveness of phylogenetic analyses. Supertree methods have been developed to overcome, or at least to go around this problem by combining smaller, partially overlapping cladograms. Here, we present a very inclusive generic-level supertree of Dinosauria (covering a total of 277 genera), which is remarkably well resolved and provides some clarity in many contentious areas of dinosaur systematics.

  • Phylogenetic Position of Ornithomimosauria in Coelurosauria with Comments on the Relationship of Ornithomimosaurs and Alvarezsaurids

Most of previous phylogenetic analyses suggested that Ornithomimosauria is basal coelurosaur dinosaurs (Tyrannosauridae is the most basal taxon). One study suggested that ornithomimosaurs and alvarezsaurids form a monophyly. This study argues an ornithomimosaurs-alvarezsaurids relationship and supports the idea that they are probably not closely related. Additional information from this study are that two characters for the ornithomimosaur-alvarezsaurid monophyly from the previous study (metacarpals I-III extent of shaft-to-shaft contact 60-70% of shafts and metacarpal I length at least 60% that of metacarapal II) are not supported (roughly 20% contact between metacarpals II and III, less than 50% shaft-to shaft contact in metacarpals I and II in some taxa, and metacarpal I in Harpymimus rougly 50% of metacarpal II). A phylogenetic analysis in this study suggests that the features, supporting a close relationship between ornithomimsoaurs and alvarezsaurids in the previous study are from derived ornithomimids, not primitive forms. Key words: Dinosauria, Coelurosauria, Ornithomimosauria, Alvarezsauridae, phylogeny Introduction ornithomimosaur genera were placed in the Ornithomimosauria are a group of theropod families Harpymimidae (includes Harpymimus) dinosaurs, each of which resembles modern ground and Garudimimidae (includes Garudimimus) (Barsbold, birds in having a beak-like jaw and lightly built body 1981 ; Barsbold and Perle, 1984) from Mongolia with long, slender limbs (Fig.

  • An Approach to Scoring Cursorial Limb Proportions in Carnivorous
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN An approach to scoring cursorial limb proportions in carnivorous dinosaurs and an attempt to Received: 18 June 2015 Accepted: 15 December 2015 account for allometry Published: 27 January 2016 W. Scott Persons IV & Philip J. Currie From an initial dataset of 53 theropod species, the general relationship between theropod lower-leg length and body mass is identified. After factoring out this allometric relationship, theropod hindlimb proportions are assessed irrespective of body mass. Cursorial-limb-proportion (CLP) scores derived for each of the considered theropod taxa offer a measure of the extent to which a particular species deviates in favour of higher or lower running speeds. Within the same theropod species, these CLP scores are found to be consistent across multiple adult specimens and across disparate ontogenetic stages. Early theropods are found to have low CLP scores, while the coelurosaurian tyrannosauroids and compsognathids are found to have high CLP scores. Among deinonychosaurs, troodontids have consistently high CLP scores, while many dromaeosaur taxa, including Velociraptor and Deinonychus, have low CLP scores. This indicates that dromaeosaurs were not, overall, a particularly cursorily adapted group. Comparisons between the CLP scores of Tyrannosaurus and specimens referred to the controversial genus Nanotyrannus indicate a strong discrepancy in cursorial adaptations, which supports the legitimacy of Nanotyrannus and the previous suggestions of ecological partitioning between Nanotyrannus and the contemporaneous Tyrannosaurus. Because direct behavioral observations are impossible, assessing the running speeds of fossil taxa is, except when fossil trackways are available1,2 or when attempting range-bound biomechanical simulations3–5, usually limited to the recognition of anatomical traits that are known to correlate with locomotor performance in modern ani- mals.

  • A New Phylogeny of the Carnivorous Dinosaurs
    GAIA Nº 15, LISBOA/LISBON, DEZEMBRO/DECEMBER 1998, pp. 5-61 (ISSN: 0871-5424) A NEW PHYLOGENY OF THE CARNIVOROUS DINOSAURS Thomas R. HOLTZ, Jr. Department of Geology, University of Maryland. College Park, MARYLAND 20735. USA E-Mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The last several years have seen the discovery of many new theropod dinosaur taxa. Data obtained from these and from fragmentary forms not previously utilized in cladis- tic analyses are examined. An analysis of forty one primary ingroup taxa and 386 characters yielded a set of most parsimonious cladograms which preserves many previously discov- ered relationships (e.g., a basal split between Ceratosauria and Tetanurae; a carnosaur- coelurosaur clade Avetheropoda outside of more primitive "megalosaur" - grade teta- nurines; Dromaeosauridae as the sister taxon to birds, and so forth). The Middle Jurassic English Proceratosaurus was discovered to be a basal coelurosaur, as was (on less secure evidence) the Middle Jurassic Chinese Gasosaurus: these are among the oldest coeluro- saurs yet described. Several characters previously considered to be restricted to birds and other advanced coelurosaurs (e.g., furcula, semilunate carpal block) were found to be more broadly distributed among tetanurines. Other characters, once considered synapomor- phies for Avetheropoda (e.g., loss of metacarpal IV, possession of a pubic obturator notch) were found to be convergent between advanced carnosaurs and advanced coelurosaurs, lacking in the basal members of both clades. At least three (and possibly four) separate ori- gins for the arctometatarsalian pes were supported in this study. The mosaic of derived character state distributions for troodontids relative to the dromaeosaurid-bird clade, the tyrannosaurid-ornithomimosaur clade, and the therizinosauroid-oviraptorosaur clade sug- gests that relationships alternative to the most parsimonious found here may be supported in future studies.

  • A Survey of Dinosaur Diversity by Clade, Age, Place of Discovery and Year
    TAYLOR — DINOSAUR DIVERSITY BY CLADE, AGE, PLACE AND YEAR. 1 Asurveyofdinosaur diversity by clade, age, place of discovery and year of description MICHAEL P.TAYLOR Dinosaur diversity is analyzed in terms of the number of valid genera within each major clade, Mesozoic age, place of discovery and year of description. Av es(Archaeopteryx +Neornithes) is excluded. Nomina nuda and nomina s t dubia are not counted. The results show451 valid dinosaurian genera at the n i end of 2001, of which 282 are saurischian (112 sauropodomorphs and 170 r theropods, including 93 coelurosaurs) and 169 ornithischian, including 11 P pachycephalosaurs, 26 ceratopsians, 60 ornithopods, 12 stegosaurs, and 38 e r ankylosaurs. Thirty-eight genera arose in the Triassic, 124 in the Jurassic, and 289 in the Cretaceous, of which a disproportionately high number — 85 P and 47 — are from the Campanian and Maastrichtian. The Kimmeridgian wasthe most productive age, with an average of 11.18 newgenera per million years. The Kimmeridgian sawanunparalleled boom in sauropod diversity,with 20 newsauropod genera arising in its 3.4 million years, an av erage of one newsauropod every 170,000 years. Asia was the most productive continent with 149 genera, followed by North America (135), Europe (66), South America (52), Africa (39), Australasia (9), and finally Antarctica (1). Just three countries account for more than half of all dinosaur diversity,with 231 genera between them: the U.S.A (105), China (73), and Mongolia (53). The top six countries also include Argentina (44), England (30), and Canada (30), and together provide 335 dinosaur genera, nearly three quarters of the total.
