A New Crested Theropod Dinosaur from the Early Jurassic of Yunnan

The new taxon is recovered from the Lower Jurassic Fengjiahe Formation of Shuangbai County, Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and is represented by a partial cranium. Shuangbaisaurus is unique in possessing parasagittal crests along the orbital dorsal rims. It is also distinguishable from the other two lager-bodied parasagittal crested Early Jurassic theropods (Dilophosaurus and Sinosaurus) by a unique combination of features, such as higher than long premaxillary body, elevated ventral edge of the premaxilla, and small upper temporal fenestra. Comparative morphological study indicates that “Dilophosaurus” sinensis could potentially be assigned to Sinosaurus, but probably not to the type species. The discovery of Shuangbaisaurus will help elucidate the evolution of basal theropods, especially the role of various bony cranial ornamentations had played in the differentiation of early theropods. -

Tengchongto the Border EDITOR’S Letter
NOV/DEC 2017 NOV/DEC 008 SKYInflight Magazine TIMES LISTENING TO THE SOUNDS OF OLD BEIJING DAY AT THE MUSEUMS American Airlines Tightens Ties with China PRODUCING THE PERFECT POTTERY TengchongTo the Border EDITOR’S Letter Food, Fun and Festivities very autumn, the water level of the Yangtze River in Hubei begins to drop and the nearby lakes become thick bogs covered in webs of detritus. Men come in little boats, paddling their way across the Esinking river in the dim, blue-grey light before sunrise. They are looking for lotus root, the starchy staple that is a highlight of much Chinese cooking, and gives a sweetish solidity to a winter soup. This is the one segment of my favorite documentary TV series A Bite of China, which introduced the history and stories behind food, eating and cooking, and aroused lots of people’s interests in it. Food is always a hot topic, and everyone has something to say about it. Just like United States celebrity cook Rachael Ray said: “Never be a food snob. Learn from everyone you meet — the fish guy at your market, the lady at the local diner, farmers and cheese makers. Ask questions, try everything and eat up!” In our November/December edition, we are talking food. We bring you a warm and interesting story, focusing on six food lovers and the gourmet dishes of their hometowns. They include pilots, flight attendants, an air traffic controller and a head chef. Even though they come from different places, with diversified cultures, they share the same feelings about food. -

“Fearless” Tour with Asian-American Artists AMP, Mickey Cho, Gowe, Artifex, & MC Jin
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 7, 2014 For more information, contact: Phoebe Ng, (626) 678-5131 Email: [email protected] RE:NEW Co-Hosts Its First Concert with the “Fearless” Tour With Asian-American Artists AMP, Mickey Cho, Gowe, Artifex, & MC Jin ROWLAND HEIGHTS, Calif., Nov. 7, 2014 -- RE:NEW co-hosted its first ever concert at Newsong Church in Irvine, California on October 25 with more than 300 people in attendance. The event featured artists from the “Fearless” Tour, including AMP, Mickey Cho, Gowe, Artifex (NAK and Nicholas Cheung), and MC Jin, with an opening act by Hillary Jane, and music by DJ Descry. The “Fearless” Tour is the first time these artists are uniting on the same stage with hopes of exemplifying the idea of being fearless. “There are stereotypical barriers to get into the arts; people inside the church might believe that we need to compromise in order to become successful in the arts,” said Chung Lee, a member of AMP and also CEO & Co-Founder of Good Fruit, in an interview with Christianity Daily. “All artists take a risk in pursuing their passions … To live out any calling from the Lord, you have to be fearless.” RE:NEW was asked to partner on this leg of the tour after an exclusive interview with the artists from AMP in November 2013. As a co-sponsor, RE:NEW received a percentage of the proceeds from the concert, which resulted in raising nearly $900 for the organization. "Partnering on this tour was definitely new ground for RE:NEW,” said Phoebe Ng, RE:NEW project manager. -
