It has been proposed that the trackmaker was gregarious based on parallel trackways at a site in Massachusetts known as Dinosaur Footprint Reservation (DFR). The gregariousness hypothesis is not without its problems, however, since parallelism can be caused by barriers that direct animal travel. We tested the gregariousness hypothesis by examining the orientations of trackways at five sites representing permanent and ephemeral lacustrine environments. -

NUMBER 1901 JULY 22, 1958 Coelurosaur Bone Casts from the Con- necticut Valley Triassic BY EDWIN HARRIS COLBERT1 AND DONALD BAIRD2 INTRODUCTION An additional record of a coelurosaurian dinosaur in the uppermost Triassic of the Connecticut River Valley is provided by a block of sandstone bearing the natural casts of a pubis, tibia, and ribs. This specimen, collected nearly a century ago but hitherto unstudied, was brought to light by the junior author among the collections (at present in dead storage) of the Boston Society of Natural History. We are much indebted to Mr. Bradford Washburn and Mr. Chan W. Wald- ron, Jr., of the Boston Museum of Science for their assistance in mak- ing this material available for study. The source and history of this block of stone are revealed in brief notices published at the time of its discovery. The Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural History (vol. 10, p. 42) record that on June 1, 1864, Prof. William B. Rogers "presented an original cast in sand- stone of bones from the Mesozoic rocks of Middlebury, Ct. The stone was probably the same as that used in the construction of the Society's Museum; it was found at Newport among the stones used in the erec- tion of Fort Adams, and he owed his possession of it to the kindness of Capt. Cullum." S. H. Scudder, custodian of the museum, listed the 1 Curator of Fossil Reptiles and Amphibians, the American Museum of Natural History. -

SANTUCCI2 1National Park Service, 9149 79th Street S., Cottage Grove, MN 55016 -email: [email protected]; 2National Park Service, Geologic Resources Division, 1849 “C” Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20240 -email: [email protected] Abstract—Dinosaurs have captured the interest and imagination of the general public, particularly children, around the world. Paleontological resource inventories within units of the National Park Service have revealed that body and trace fossils of non-avian dinosaurs have been documented in at least 21 National Park Service areas. In addition there are two historically associated occurrences, one equivocal occurrence, two NPS areas with dinosaur tracks in building stone, and one case where fossils have been found immediately outside of a monument’s boundaries. To date, body fossils of non- avian dinosaurs are documented at 14 NPS areas, may also be present at another, and are historically associated with two other parks. Dinosaur trace fossils have been documented at 17 NPS areas and are visible in building stone at two parks. Most records of NPS dinosaur fossils come from park units on the Colorado Plateau, where body fossils have been found in Upper Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous rocks at many locations, and trace fossils are widely distributed in Upper Triassic and Jurassic rocks. Two NPS units are particularly noted for their dinosaur fossils: Dinosaur National Monument (Upper Triassic through Lower Cretaceous) and Big Bend National Park (Upper Cretaceous). -

We organize these tetrapod fossils into five, time-successive biostratigraphic assemblages (in ascending order, Owl Rock, Rock Point, Dinosaur Canyon, Whitmore Point and Kayenta) that we assign to the (ascending order) Revueltian, Apachean, Wassonian and Dawan land-vertebrate faunachrons (LVF). In doing so, we redefine the Wassonian and the Dawan LVFs. The Apachean-Wassonian boundary approximates the Triassic-Jurassic boundary. This tetrapod biostratigraphy and biochronology of the Triassic-Jurassic transition on the southern Colorado Plateau confirms that non-crocodilian crurotarsan extinction closely corresponds to the end of the Triassic, and that a dramatic increase in dinosaur diversity, abundance and body size preceded the end of the Triassic.

A Building Stone Atlas of Oxfordshire
Strategic Stone Study A Building Stone Atlas of Oxfordshire First published by English Heritage March 2011 Rebranded by Historic England December 2017 Introduction The oldest rocks in Oxfordshire crop out in the north of the county and are of Lower Jurassic age, around 200 million years old. Younger Jurassic and Cretaceous formations progressively crop out towards the south. The harder limestone and chalk lithologies form escarpments, whilst clay underlies the intervening vales. The character of Oxfordshire’s stone buildings is very much determined by the nature of the local stone, which leads to a fascinating variation of styles across the county. With the exception of the Jurassic ooidal freestone quarried around Taynton, few building stones were of sufficient quality to be used much beyond their immediate source area. Now only a handful of building stone quarries are still active in the county, supplying Marlstone and the Chipping Norton Limestone. Unfortunately the other building stones described in the following pages are no longer available from working local quarries. The following summary of the principal local building stones is based largely on Arkell’s work, Oxford Stone and The Geology of Oxford, and Powell’s recent Geology of Oxfordshire. The oldest stones are described first, progressing towards the stratigraphically youngest to the south.

Spruce, B Ravenna, Ohio 44266 ABSTRACT The Hartford basin consists of a long band of clastic sediments and basalts outcropping in Central Connecticut and Massachusetts. Geologists have long considered these sediments to be deposited by uniformitarian processes. Evidence will be presented in support of catastrophic deposition of these sediments over a short period of time. A possible Flood model for the formation of the basin shall be proposed . -

Palaeoecology of Portlandian Gastropods from the South Midlands Jonathan D. Radley Abstract. The Portlandian strata of Buckinghamshire were deposited in sheltered shallow- marine to nonmarine settings during the Late Jurassic regression. Distal environments were characterised by a low diversity gastropod fauna. Proximal marine settings supported micromorphic gastropod faunas, possibly associated with putative algal meadows. Coarser- grained bioclastic substrates were intermittently colonised by the nerineoid Aptyxiella portlandica. Low-salinity lacustrine facies are characterised by low diversity faunas dominated by small provalvatids. This report is founded upon investigations undertaken and calcareous mudstones of the Purbeck Formation by the author nearly twenty years ago, whilst (Kerberus Zone; up to c. 10 m thick; Wimbledon, researching aspects of the palaeontology and 1980; Horton, Sumbler, Cox & Ambrose, 1995; Fig. palaeoecology of Portlandian (Late Jurassic) 1). The Portland Sand and Portland Stone are further gastropods. The author’s interest in Portlandian subdivided into named units (Bristow, 1968; palaeontology had been initiated through investigation Wimbledon, 1980; Horton et al., 1995; Fig. 1; Table 1). of the poorly exposed succession in the Vale of Horton et al.

It is included within the Creamy Limestone 1970s. There, the richly fossiliferous strata (Fig. 1) are in this account on palaeontological grounds, following stratigraphically condensed and generally poorly Bristow (1968) and Radley (1991). cemented relative to the expanded successions in the The Portlandian succession represents the last Dorset type-area of southwest England (Townson, phase of marine deposition in a northeastern 1975; Wimbledon, 1980). -
A Late Triassic Dinosaur−Dominated Ichnofauna from the Tomanová Formation of the Tatra Mountains, Central Europe
A Late Triassic dinosaur−dominated ichnofauna from the Tomanová Formation of the Tatra Mountains, Central Europe GRZEGORZ NIEDŹWIEDZKI Niedźwiedzki, G. 2011. A Late Triassic dinosaur−dominated ichnofauna from the Tomanová Formation of the Tatra Mountains, Central Europe. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 56 (2): 291–300. Osteological fossils of dinosaurs are relatively rare in the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic. Thus, ichnofossils are a criti− cal source of information on Late Triassic terrestrial vertebrate communities. The outcrops of the Tomanová Forma− tion (?late Norian–Rhaetian) in the Tatra Mountains of Poland and Slovakia have yielded a diverse ichnofauna. Seven more or less distinct morphotypes of dinosaur tracks have been recognized and are discussed. Most tracks are partly eroded or deformed, but are preserved well enough to be assigned to a range of trackmakers, including early ornithischians, small and large theropods (coelophysoids and/or possibly early tetanurans), and probably basal sauropodomorphs (“prosauropods”) or first true sauropods.
