  • The Origin and Early Evolution of Dinosaurs

Angel Gallardo 470, Cdad. de Buenos Aires, Argentina 3CONICET (Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cient´ıficas y T´ecnicas); Avda. Rivadavia 1917 - Cdad. de Buenos Aires, Argentina (Received 28 November 2008; revised 09 July 2009; accepted 14 July 2009) ABSTRACT The oldest unequivocal records of Dinosauria were unearthed from Late Triassic rocks (approximately 230 Ma) accumulated over extensional rift basins in southwestern Pangea. The better known of these are Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis, Pisanosaurus mertii, Eoraptor lunensis,andPanphagia protos from the Ischigualasto Formation, Argentina, and Staurikosaurus pricei and Saturnalia tupiniquim from the Santa Maria Formation, Brazil. No uncontroversial dinosaur body fossils are known from older strata, but the Middle Triassic origin of the lineage may be inferred from both the footprint record and its sister-group relation to Ladinian basal dinosauromorphs. These include the typical Marasuchus lilloensis, more basal forms such as Lagerpeton and Dromomeron, as well as silesaurids: a possibly monophyletic group composed of Mid-Late Triassic forms that may represent immediate sister taxa to dinosaurs. The first phylogenetic definition to fit the current understanding of Dinosauria as a node-based taxon solely composed of mutually exclusive Saurischia and Ornithischia was given as ‘‘all descendants of the most recent common ancestor of birds and Triceratops’’.

Congresso Brasileiro de Paleontologia Paleontologia 4 Sobre a Logomarca A Logomarca do XXI Congresso Brasileiro de Paleontologia O gênero Orthaulax é um representante extinto da família Strombidae, endêmico da província paleobiogeográfica Caribeana, vivente entre o Oligoceno Superior e o Mioceno Inferior. Do ponto de vista paleoambiental teria vivido em ambiente marinho de águas rasas, quentes, límpidas, agitadas e com salinidade normal. O processo envolvente da sua ultima volta tornou a concha bastante sólida e maciça, permitindo que habitasse ambiente de grande agitação, como os biohermas, pequenas edificações recifais. Na Formação Pirabas, a espécie Orthaulax pugnax (Heilprin, 1887) foi reconhecida por Maury (1925), e corroborada em pesquisas subseqüentes. Estudos realizados por Cândido Simões Ferreira, delimitaram nos calcários aflorantes no litoral nordeste do Estado do Pará e noroeste do Estado do Maranhão, uma zona caracterizada por elementos estenobiônticos, típicos de recifes de corais. A espécie O. pugnax, associada com algas coralíneas, corais hermatípicos e equinóides regulares são as formas mais características que contribuíram para a edificação do bioherma. Assim, este gastrópode constitui-se em um elemento importante da Formação Pirabas, por ter sido o primeiro táxon utilizado para datar esta unidade litoestratigráfica como oligo-miocênica, bem como seu decisivo papel para correlação com outras unidades sincrônicas da Província Biogeográfica Caribeana, permitindo delimitar no norte do Brasil, a sua extremidade sul.

In 2020, we are celebrating the quadricentennial of GSRS, 25thGSRS. This event is entirely student-led and Fundraising and logistics are organized by a committee of graduate students. GSRS objectives are to help students gain experience in developing communication skills, event preparation, leadership, mentorship, and team-building. GSRS provides students a platform to communicate their research across the far-reaching disciplines of our department which promotes student growth as scientists in a collegial environment. Students also gain practice in communicating their research to a broad audience which offers a unique opportunity for students to prepare for future talks at national conferences. GSRS brings the geoscience family together through scientific talks, poster sessions, and discussions during Breakfasts, lunches, and department’s favorite banquet! GSRS would not be possible without the help of our greater geoscience family and friends. Thank you very much to everyone who donated to GSRS through our Virginia Tech Crowdfunding Campaign last fall. This symposium would not be possible without your generosity. Thank you to Carol Lee Donuts, Blacksburg Bagels, Due South, Moe’s, and Custom Catering for working with us through the catering process. Thank you to the VT Police Department and Rhino security for providing security at our banquet. Thank you very much to everyone in the Department of Geosciences (students, faculty, and staff) for helping to make GSRS possible.

  • A Beaked Herbivorous Archosaur with Dinosaur Affinities from the Early Late Triassic of Poland
    Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology 23(3):556±574, September 2003 q 2003 by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology A BEAKED HERBIVOROUS ARCHOSAUR WITH DINOSAUR AFFINITIES FROM THE EARLY LATE TRIASSIC OF POLAND JERZY DZIK Instytut Paleobiologii PAN, Twarda 51/55, 00-818 Warszawa, Poland, [email protected] ABSTRACTÐAn accumulation of skeletons of the pre-dinosaur Silesaurus opolensis, gen. et sp. nov. is described from the Keuper (Late Triassic) claystone of KrasiejoÂw in southern Poland. The strata are correlated with the late Carnian Lehrberg Beds and contain a diverse assemblage of tetrapods, including the phytosaur Paleorhinus, which in other regions of the world co-occurs with the oldest dinosaurs. A narrow pelvis with long pubes and the extensive development of laminae in the cervical vertebrae place S. opolensis close to the origin of the clade Dinosauria above Pseudolagosuchus, which agrees with its geological age. Among the advanced characters is the beak on the dentaries, and the relatively low tooth count. The teeth have low crowns and wear facets, which are suggestive of herbivory. The elongate, but weak, front limbs are probably a derived feature. INTRODUCTION oped nutrient foramina in its maxilla. It is closely related to Azendohsaurus from the Argana Formation of Morocco (Gauf- As is usual in paleontology, with an increase in knowledge fre, 1993). The Argana Formation also has Paleorhinus, along of the fossil record of early archosaurian reptiles, more and with other phytosaurs more advanced than those from Krasie- more lineages emerge or extend their ranges back in time. It is joÂw (see Dutuit, 1977), and it is likely to be somewhat younger.
