(© Davide Bonadonna) 4 Paleodays 2019 - XIX Edizione delle Giornate di Paleontologia Benevento/Pietraroja (21)22-24(25) Maggio 2019 Scipionyx samniticus Cristiano Dal Sasso & Simone Maganuco Scipionyx samniticus abruptly entered the limelight when, on the occasion of its formal naming, it made the cover of Nature (Dal Sasso & Signore, 1998), attracting not only the interest of palaeontologists but also popular imagination throughout the world. In fact, the Scipionyx fossil is a striking, articulated, juvenile coelurosaur with a unique combination of osteological characters and superbly fossilised soft tissues (Fig. 1). The latter render Scipionyx one of the best-preserved dinosaurs known, and a unique specimen within the fossil record of Mesozoic vertebrates. Scipionyx samniticus was the first dinosaur fossil body unearthed in Italy; thus, its discovery was a major event in the history of Italian palaeontology. The finding The story of the discovery of the Scipionyx fossil is original in itself (for a detailed account, see Dal Sasso, 2001, 2004). In the spring of 1981, Giovanni Todesco unearthed it at Le Cavere. The collector cleaned the fossil as well as he could and stored it in the basement of his house. It remained the- re until 1993, when Todesco showed it to professional pa- laeontologists, who identified the tiny reptile as a dinosaur. In accordance with Italian law, the specimen was handed over to the Superintendence of the site of provenance, and the popular magazine Oggi dubbed the dinosaur “Ciro” (a typical Neapolitan name). In 1994, the Museo di Storia Na- turale di Milano (MSNM) obtained permission to properly prepare and study the fossil. It was only during this prepa- ration work, that the extraordinary degree of preservation of the specimen’s soft tissue was fully realised. This later became the main focus of the paper published in Nature on its formal description (Dal Sasso & Signore, 1998), and, subsequently, of a detailed monograph (Dal Sasso & Maga- Fig. 1 - Overall view of the holotype (and only known specimen) of nuco, 2011), which is most complete publication existing Scipionyx samniticus.

Among the relevant postcranial skeletal features are fan-shaped dorsal neural spines with beak-like ligament attachments, hair-like cervical ribs, dorsal ribs with cup-like sternal at- tachments, carpus composed of only two stacked, well-os- sified bones, manual digit III longer than digit I, a cranially notched iliac preacetabular blade and a distally squared ischial obturator process. The holotype (and only know specimen) of Scipionyx sam- niticus is clearly a very immature individual, probably less than three weeks old at the time of death. This is indicated by a long list of juvenile characters, such as the presen- ce of a frontoparietal fontanelle (Fig. 2), a short and deep antorbital region, tooth replacement not yet started, pe- culiar scarred bone surfaces, non-sutured girdle elements Fig. 2 - Skull and mandible of Scipionyx samniticus. The large circular and closure of the neurocentral sutures not yet started in orbits, the short snout, and the fronto-parietal fontanelle (i.e., the U-shaped gap on the cranial vault) point out to the very young age of any vertebra, and -last but not least- anterior abdominal the animal.

(After Dal Sasso & Maganuco, 2011. © Museo di Storia Naturale di Milano. Drawing Marco Auditore) According to Dal Sasso & Maganuco (2011), the recon- structed total body length of the holotype of Scipionyx does not exceed 50 cm. After having re-articulated its elements and corrected for the deformation, the pel- vis of Scipionyx results comparatively slightly narrower mediolaterally than that of Mirischia, the three-dimen- sionally preserved pelvis of which has a width appro- ximately 30 mm wide across the sacrum (Martill et al., 2000). Comparison with usual body proportions of small extinct and extant coelurosaurs, including birds, permitted to tentatively estimate a weight in life of no more than 0.2 kg. Phylogenetic analysis of Coelurosauria (90 taxa, 360 characters), evaluating also the ontogeny-related cha- racters, identified Scipionyx as a basal member of a monophyletic Compsognathidae, which resulted to be more derived than Tyrannosauroidea (Dal Sasso & Ma- ganuco, 2011).

    Lucas, S. G. and Sullivan, R.M., eds., 2006, Late Cretaceous vertebrates from the Western Interior. New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin 35. 193 ANNOTATED CHECKLIST OF FOSSIL FISHES FROM THE SMOKY HILL CHALK OF THE NIOBRARA CHALK (UPPER CRETACEOUS) IN KANSAS KENSHU SHIMADA1 AND CHRISTOPHER FIELITZ2 1Environmental Science Program and Department of Biological Sciences, DePaul University,2325 North Clifton Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60614; and Sternberg Museum of Natural History, Fort Hays State University, 3000 Sternberg Drive, Hays, Kansas 67601;2Department of Biology, Emory & Henry College, P.O. Box 947, Emory, Virginia 24327 Abstract—The Smoky Hill Chalk Member of the Niobrara Chalk is an Upper Cretaceous marine deposit found in Kansas and adjacent states in North America. The rock, which was formed under the Western Interior Sea, has a long history of yielding spectacular fossil marine vertebrates, including fishes. Here, we present an annotated taxo- nomic list of fossil fishes (= non-tetrapod vertebrates) described from the Smoky Hill Chalk based on published records. Our study shows that there are a total of 643 referable paleoichthyological specimens from the Smoky Hill Chalk documented in literature of which 133 belong to chondrichthyans and 510 to osteichthyans. These 643 specimens support the occurrence of a minimum of 70 species, comprising at least 16 chondrichthyans and 54 osteichthyans. Of these 70 species, 44 are represented by type specimens from the Smoky Hill Chalk. However, it must be noted that the fossil record of Niobrara fishes shows evidence of preservation, collecting, and research biases, and that the paleofauna is a time-averaged assemblage over five million years of chalk deposition.

  • Early Cretaceous) Wessex Formation of the Isle of Wight, Southern England
    A new albanerpetontid amphibian from the Barremian (Early Cretaceous) Wessex Formation of the Isle of Wight, southern England STEVEN C. SWEETMAN and JAMES D. GARDNER Sweetman, S.C. and Gardner, J.D. 2013. A new albanerpetontid amphibian from the Barremian (Early Cretaceous) Wes− sex Formation of the Isle of Wight, southern England. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 58 (2): 295–324. A new albanerpetontid, Wesserpeton evansae gen. et sp. nov., from the Early Cretaceous (Barremian) Wessex Formation of the Isle of Wight, southern England, is described. Wesserpeton is established on the basis of a unique combination of primitive and derived characters relating to the frontals and jaws which render it distinct from currently recognized albanerpetontid genera: Albanerpeton (Late Cretaceous to Pliocene of Europe, Early Cretaceous to Paleocene of North America and Late Cretaceous of Asia); Celtedens (Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous of Europe); and Anoualerpeton (Middle Jurassic of Europe and Early Cretaceous of North Africa). Although Wesserpeton exhibits considerable intraspecific variation in characters pertaining to the jaws and, to a lesser extent, frontals, the new taxon differs from Celtedens in the shape of the internasal process and gross morphology of the frontals in dorsal or ventral view. It differs from Anoualerpeton in the lack of pronounced heterodonty of dentary and maxillary teeth; and in the more medial loca− tion and direction of opening of the suprapalatal pit. The new taxon cannot be referred to Albanerpeton on the basis of the morphology of the frontals. Wesserpeton currently represents the youngest record of Albanerpetontidae in Britain.

  • Yaksha Perettii
    Yaksha perettii Yaksha perettii is an extinct species of albanerpetontid amphibian, and the only species in the genus Yaksha. It is known from three Yaksha perettii specimens found in Cenomanian aged Burmese amber from Temporal range: Early Cenomanian Myanmar. The remains of Yaksha perettii are the best preserved of 99 Ma all albanerpetontids, which usually consist of isolated fragments or ↓ crushed flat, and have provided significant insights in the PreꞒ Ꞓ O S D C P T J K PgN morphology and lifestyle of the group. Contents Etymology Discovery Description Phylogeny Holotype skull of Yaksha perettii, dark References grey represents preserved soft tissue Scientific classification Etymology Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata The generic epithet is named after the Yaksha, a class of nature Class: Amphibia and guardian spirits in Indian religions, while the specific epithet honors Dr. Adolf Peretti, who provided some of the specimens, Order: †Allocaudata including the holotype.[1] Family: †Albanerpetontidae Discovery Genus: †Yaksha Daza et al, 2020 The paratype specimen was originally described in 2016 amongst Species: †Y. perettii a collection of fossil lizard species from Burmese amber, and was initially identified as a stem-chameleon.[2] However Professor Binomial name Susan E. Evans, a researcher who has extensively worked on †Yaksha perettii albanerpetontids, recognised the specimen as belonging to the Daza et al, 2020 group.[3] Subsequently, another specimen was discovered in the collection of gemologist Dr. Adolf Peretti, which would later become the holotype specimen.[4] The paper describing Yaksha perettii was published in November 2020 in the journal Science.[1] Description The species is known from three specimens, the small juvenile skeleton described in the 2016 paper (JZC Bu154), a complete adult skull and lower jaws (GRS-Ref-060829), and a partial adult postcranium (GRSRef- 27746).
