The holotype of this Received 21 November 2018 species, which comes from the Sierra Barrosa Formation (upper Coniacian, Upper Cretaceous), consists of Received in revised form cranial, axial, and appendicular elements presenting an unique combination of plesiomorphic and 3 February 2019 apomorphic characters. The most notable characteristic observed in Kaijutitan is the presence of anterior Accepted in revised form 9 March 2019 cervical vertebrae with bifid neural spines, a condition that would have evolved several times among Available online 28 March 2019 sauropods. The phylogenetic analysis places Kaijutitan as a basal titanosaur, the sister taxon of Epachthosaurus þ Eutitanosauria. The new species supports the coexistence, in the Late Cretaceous Keywords: Sauropoda (Turonian-Santonian), of basal titanosaurs and eutitanosaurian sauropods, at least in Patagonia.

  • Argentina in Antarctica Argentina Has Had Varied Military and Scientific Presence in the Antartic Continent
    Argentina in Antarctica Argentina has had varied military and scientific presence in the Antartic continent. The Operation 90 (1965) and the discovery of Antarctopelta oliveroi (1986) are proof of it. Operation 90: First argentine land expedition to the South Pole. In 1965, argentine army men decided to reach for the first time the South Pole by land from Belgrano Base, located at latitude 77º 46' South and longitude 38º 11' West on the Filchner barrier (430.000 km2 of ice, south from Weddell Sea). This expedition to the South Pole was denominated Operation 90 after the latitude 90º that indicated the geographic South Pole. The Pole's conquest was an old desire of general Hernán Pujato, pioneer in the activities of the Army in the Sixth Continent. In March, at the beginning of the long polar night, a forward patrol departed to raise a support construction at latitude 81º 04' South and longitude -40º 36' West, on the first foothills of the polar plateau. This facilities were denominated Sub-Lieutenant Sobral Advanced Scientific Base (founded on april 2nd, 1965). During the following months they prepared garments, equipments and specially vehicles: six snowcat tractors capable of transporting personnel, instruments and supplies. On october 26 the expedition departed under Colonel Jorge Edgard Leal's command, preceded by a polar dog sleigh patrol. On november 4 the men arrived at the said Sub-Lieutenant Sobral Base, where temperature was 33º C below zero. During the journey the sleighs had been damaged, forcing the group to stay several days for maintenance. However, difficulties had barely started: from that point on big cracks, sometimes hidden under very fragile snow bridges, would become invisible traps for the snowcats, in which only some supply sleighs would be lost.

  • The Gaudryceratid Ammonoids from the Upper Cretaceous of the James Ross Basin, Antarctica
    The gaudryceratid ammonoids from the Upper Cretaceous of the James Ross Basin, Antarctica MARÍA E. RAFFI, EDUARDO B. OLIVERO, and FLORENCIA N. MILANESE Raffi, M.E., Olivero, E.B., and Milanese, F.N. 2019. The gaudryceratid ammonoids from the Upper Cretaceous of the James Ross Basin, Antarctica. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 64 (3): 523–542. We describe new material of the subfamily Gaudryceratinae in Antarctica, including five new species: Gaudryceras submurdochi Raffi and Olivero sp. nov., Anagaudryceras calabozoi Raffi and Olivero sp. nov., Anagaudryceras subcom- pressum Raffi and Olivero sp. nov., Anagaudryceras sanctuarium Raffi and Olivero sp. nov., and Zelandites pujatoi Raffi and Olivero sp. nov., recorded in Santonian to Maastrichtian deposits of the James Ross Basin. The early to mid-Campan- ian A. calabozoi Raffi and Olivero sp. nov. exhibits a clear dimorphism, expressed by marked differences in the ornament of the adult body chamber. Contrary to the scarcity of representative members of the subfamily Gaudryceratinae in the Upper Cretaceous of other localities in the Southern Hemisphere, the Antarctic record reveals high abundance and di- versity of 15 species and three genera in total. This highly diversified record of gaudryceratins is only comparable with the Santonian–Maastrichtian Gaudryceratinae of Hokkaido, Japan and Sakhalin, Russia, which yields a large number of species of Anagaudryceras, Gaudryceras, and Zelandites. The reasons for a similar, highly diversified record of the Gaudryceratinae in these distant and geographically nearly antipodal regions are not clear, but we argue that they prob- ably reflect a similar paleoecological control. Key words: Ammonoidea, Phylloceratida, Gaudryceratinae, Lytoceratoidea, Cretaceous, Antarctica. María E.

  • Osteology of the Dorsal Vertebrae of the Giant Titanosaurian Sauropod Dinosaur Dreadnoughtus Schrani from the Late Cretaceous of Argentina
    Editors' choice Osteology of the dorsal vertebrae of the giant titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur Dreadnoughtus schrani from the Late Cretaceous of Argentina KRISTYN K. VOEGELE, MATTHEW C. LAMANNA, and KENNETH J. LACOVARA Voegele, K.K., Lamanna, M.C., and Lacovara K.J. 2017. Osteology of the dorsal vertebrae of the giant titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur Dreadnoughtus schrani from the Late Cretaceous of Argentina. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 62 (4): 667–681. Many titanosaurian dinosaurs are known only from fragmentary remains, making comparisons between taxa difficult because they often lack overlapping skeletal elements. This problem is particularly pronounced for the exceptionally large-bodied members of this sauropod clade. Dreadnoughtus schrani is a well-preserved giant titanosaurian from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian–Maastrichtian) Cerro Fortaleza Formation of southern Patagonia, Argentina. Numerous skeletal elements are known for Dreadnoughtus, including seven nearly complete dorsal vertebrae and a partial dorsal neural arch that collectively represent most of the dorsal sequence. Here we build on our previous preliminary descrip- tion of these skeletal elements by providing a detailed assessment of their serial positional assignments, as well as comparisons of the dorsal vertebrae of Dreadnoughtus with those of other exceptionally large-bodied titanosaurians. Although the dorsal elements of Dreadnoughtus probably belong to two individuals, they exhibit substantial morpho- logical variation that suggests that there is minimal, if any, positional overlap among them. Dreadnoughtus therefore preserves the second-most complete dorsal vertebral series known for a giant titanosaurian that has been described in detail, behind only that of Futalognkosaurus. The dorsal sequence of Dreadnoughtus provides valuable insight into serial variation along the vertebral column of these enormous sauropods.

  • Determining the Largest Known Land Animal: a Critical Comparison of Differing Methods for Restoring the Volume and Mass of Extinct Animals
    ANNALS OF CARNEGIE MUSEUM VOL. 85, NUMBER 4, PP. 335–358 31 DECEMBER 2019 DETERMINING THE LARGEST KNOWN LAND ANIMAL: A CRITICAL COMPARISON OF DIFFERING METHODS FOR RESTORING THE VOLUME AND MASS OF EXTINCT ANIMALS GREGORY PAUL 3100 St. Paul Street 604, Baltimore, Maryland, 21218 [email protected] ABSTRACT Recent claims regarding what is and is not the largest known sauropod dinosaur are tested via dimensional comparisons of the most critical metrics of relative size—especially, when possible, the functional lengths of the dorsal vertebral centra and the articulated length of the combined trunk vertebrae—and analog volumetric models based on technical skeletal restorations. The Cretaceous Argentinosaurus massed 65–75 tonnes, and its dorsal vertebrae and dorsal–sacral series are much larger than those of any other described titanosaur. Specimens of Patagotitan indicate a 50–55 tonne titanosaur, and the less complete Notocolossus, Puertasaurus, and ‘Antarctosaurus’ giganteus appear to have occupied a similar size range. Paralititan weighed between 30 and 55 tonnes. The juvenile Dreadnoughtus, as well as Futalognkosaurus and Alamosaurus, were in the area of 30 tonnes, with the possibility that the last was substantially larger. Entirely analog, skillfully produced, high-anatomical-fidelity skeletal restorations and volumetric models representing a prime-lean condition are approximately as scientifically objective and accurate, as well as more realistic than, analog-digital, crudely-formed convex hull volumetric models, which are based on subjectively and often inconsistently or erroneously mounted skeletons and digitized skeletal reconstructions. The need to ensure that skeletal restorations are as anatomically correct and consistent as the data allow is stressed, which requires that researchers and illustrators be sufficiently skilled in animal and especially dinosaur anatomy, and the proce- dures and standards for achieving the best possible results are detailed.

  • Dinosaurs (Reptilia, Archosauria) at Museo De La Plata, Argentina: Annotated Catalogue of the Type Material and Antarctic Specimens
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Dinosaurs (Reptilia, Archosauria) at Museo de La Plata, Argentina: annotated catalogue of the type material and Antarctic specimens Alejandro Otero and Marcelo Reguero ABSTRACT A commented-illustrated catalogue of non-avian dinosaurs housed at Museo de La Plata, Argentina is presented. This represents the first commented catalogue of the La Plata Museum dinosaurs to be published. This includes the type material as well as Antarctic specimens. The arrangement of the material was made in a phylogenetic fashion, including systematic rank, type material, referred specimens, geographic and stratigraphic location, and comments/remarks, when necessary. A total of 13 type specimens of non-avian dinosaurs are housed at the collection of Museo de La Plata, including eight sauropods, one theropod, one ornithischian, and three ichnotaxa.

Ushuaia, Argentina. 3 Division of Geological & Planetary Sciences, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena CA, USA. * [email protected] ABSTRACT The Santa Marta Formation (Santonian - middle Campanian) is located in the northwestern tip of the James Ross Island, in the Antarctic Peninsula. The Rabot Formation (early-middle Campanian), that is equivalent to the upper part of the Santa Marta Formation, crops out at the southeastern sector of the island. Due to diachronic extinctions and endemism, biostratigraphic correlation of the James Ross Basin infill presents many uncertainties. We present here a preliminary magnetostratigraphic composite section of four outcrops of the Santa Marta Formation which suggests that the C34n/C33r reversal, and therefore the Santonian- Camapanian boundary, is recorded at the lower levels of the Santa Marta formation. This is consistent with previous magnetostratigraphic results on the Rabot Formation and agrees with biostratigraphic correlations based on ammonites associations. Keywords: Magnetostratigraphy, Antarctica, James Ross Basin, Cretaceous RESUMEN La Formación Santa Marta (Santoniano-Campaniano medio) se encuentra en el extremo noroccidental de la Isla James Ross, en la Península Antártica. La Formación Rabot (Campaniano temprano-medio) es equivalente a la parte superior de la Formación Santa Marta y aflora en el sector sureste de la isla.

  • Osteological, Myological, and Biomechanical Investigations of the Sauropod Dinosaur
    Osteological, myological, and biomechanical investigations of the sauropod dinosaur Dreadnoughtus schrani and molecular paleontological investigation of the marine crocodile Thoracosaurus neocesariensis A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Drexel University by Kristyn K. Voegele in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2016 © Copyright 2016 Kristyn K. Voegele. All Rights Reserved. ii Dedication To those with dreams and those that help them achieve dreams iii Acknowledgements This project would not be possible without the support, assistance, and guidance of just about everyone I have had interacted with in the last five years. I am grateful for all of your time, effort, patience, and support. First, I would like to thank Drexel University, the College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Biology, the Academy of Natural Sciences, the Department of Biodiversity, Earth, and Environmental Science, and all the faculty and staff that made my graduate education possible. At Drexel I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from world-class scientists about research, teaching, and everything in between. I appreciate the resources and support provided to me over my graduate career to turn me into a capable scientist. I am also thankful to the organizations that have financially supported my research. Without the financial support from a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (DGE Award #1002809) and a Paul Bond Scholarship from the Delaware Valley Paleontological Society much of my research would have been unaffordable. I am thankful to these institutions for helping me expand my area of focus and training in my field of study during my graduate career.
