Anhang A: Körper- Und Spurenfossilien Von Dinosauriern Anhang A: Körper- und Spurenfossilien von Dinosauriern Bisher wurde nie richtig honoriert, wie lange und wie intensiv die Menschheit schon nach Dinosauriern sucht. Dinosaurierfossilien wurden bisher überall auf der Erde gefunden- allein schon in 31 der 50 US-Bundesstaaten. David Weishampel von der Johns Hopkins University hat alle Funde chronologisch und mit viel Akribie in dem von ihm herausgegebenen Werk The Dinosauria (siehe Anhang C: Empfehlenswerte Literatur) aufgelistet. Anband dieser Aufstellung wurden auf den folgenden Seiten alle Funde nach Ländern (bzw. Regionen) und Perioden geordnet und in die sich anschlie­ ßenden Karten eingetragen. Diese Daten wurden -mit Weishampels Genehmigung - auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. 278 DINOSAURIERFORSCHER Schlüssel T =Trias J=Jura K =Kreide Afrika Australien ÄgyptenK Neuseeland (Nordinsel) K Algerien 1, K Nordaustralien K Kenia K Queensland T, 1, K Lesotho T, J Südostaustralien K LibyenK Westaustralien K Madagaskar 1, K MalawiJ Europa MaliK Belgien T, K Marokko T, J, K Deutschland T, J, K NamibiaJ Frankreich T, J, K Niger J, K Italien T Simbabwe T, 1 Jugoslawien K Südafrika T, J, K Niederlande K Tansania 1 NorwegenK Tunesien K Österreich K Polen T Antarktis Portugal 1, K Antarktis J, K RumänienK Rußland K Asien SchwedenJ Afghanistan 1 Schweiz T, 1 China (Nordostchina) K Spanien J, K China (Nordwestchina) J, K Tschechische Republiken China (Südostchina) K (vordem: Tschechoslowakei) K China (Südwestchina) T, J, K UngamJ China (Zentralchina) J, K Vereinigtes Königreich T, J, K Indien (Nordostindien) J, K Indien (Südostindien) T, J, K Nordamerika Indien (Westindien) K AlabamaK Iran 1 AlaskaJ, K Israel K Arizona T, J, K Japan K Arkansas K Kasachstan K Colorado T, J, K LaosK Connecticut 1 Mongolei K Delaware K Sibirien K Georgia K SüdkoreaK Idaho K Syrien K Kalifomien K Thailand 1, K Kanada (Ostkanada) T, 1 Anhang A: Körper- und Spurenfossilien von Dinosauriern 279 Kanada (Westkanada) K OregonK Kanada (Yukon) K Pennsylvania T Kansas K South Dakota J, K MarylandK Texas T,J, K Massachusetts T, J Utah T,J,K MexikoK Virginia T Mississippi K WyomingJ,K Missouri K MontanaK Südamerika NebraskaK Argentinien T, J, K NevadaK Bolivien K New Jersey T, J, K Brasilien T, J, K New Mexico T, J, K ChileJ,K NewYorkT Kolumbien J, K North Carolina T, K PeruK North Dakota K UruguayK Oklahoma J, K c CJ T c c TJ TJ c AC T TC& c c c c A J JC JC TJ' c c TA CJc c AA c c ~c J AA JC C C C c A cc A c ATLANTIK c c JC PAZIFIK CJ c c cJ c Die heutige Weit A Spuren- und Körperfossilien von Dinosauriern T =Trias J = Jura C = Cretaceous (Kreide) & = Alle drei Perioden (Zeichnung von Deborah Perugi) c NORDPOLARMEER c J c T T :& c c CJ c c c T C c JC c cc J J JC c c c ...

  • The Dashanpu Dinosaur Fauna of Zigong Sichuan Short Report V - Labyrinthodont Amphibia
    The Dashanpu Dinosaur Fauna of Zigong Sichuan Short Report V - Labyrinthodont Amphibia Zhiming Dong (Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology, Paleoanthropology, Academia Sinica) Vertebrata PalAsiatica Volume XXIII, No. 4 October, 1985 pp. 301-305 Translated by Will Downs Department of Geology Bilby Research Center Northern Arizona University December, 1990 Abstract A brief discussion is presented on the morphological characteristics and phylogenetic position of Sinobrachyops placenticephalus (gen. et sp. nov.). The specimen is derived from the well-known Middle Jurassic Dashanpu dinosaur quarries of Zigong County, Sichaun Province. Sinobrachyops is the youngest geological occurrence of a labyrinthodont amphibian known to date. Its discovery extends the upper geochronological limit for the Labyrinthodontia into the Middle Jurassic. Introduction The first fossils collected from Dashanpu, Zigong, in 1979, were a pair of rhachitomous vertebrae. This discovery created a sense of perplexity among the workers, for the morphology of these pleurocentra and intercentra suggested an assignment to the Labyrinthodontia. This group of amphibians, however, was traditionally believed to have become extinct in the Late Triassic, a traditional concept that must be abandoned if scientific investigation is to be advanced and left unfettered. In 1983 the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology, Paleoanthropology Academia Sinica launched a paleontological expedition in the Shishugou Formation (Middle-Late Jurassic) from the Kelameili region, northeast Jungar Basin, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, where several rhachitomous vertebrae were discovered. Later, a fragmentary skull of a labyrinthodont amphibian was collected, confirming that this group extended into the Middle Jurassic. The discovery from the Shishugou Formation convinced the workers that the rhachitomous vertebrae at Dashanpu belonged to the Labyrinthodontia.

  • D Inosaur Paleobiology
    Topics in Paleobiology The study of dinosaurs has been experiencing a remarkable renaissance over the past few decades. Scientifi c understanding of dinosaur anatomy, biology, and evolution has advanced to such a degree that paleontologists often know more about 100-million-year-old dinosaurs than many species of living organisms. This book provides a contemporary review of dinosaur science intended for students, researchers, and dinosaur enthusiasts. It reviews the latest knowledge on dinosaur anatomy and phylogeny, Brusatte how dinosaurs functioned as living animals, and the grand narrative of dinosaur evolution across the Mesozoic. A particular focus is on the fossil evidence and explicit methods that allow paleontologists to study dinosaurs in rigorous detail. Scientifi c knowledge of dinosaur biology and evolution is shifting fast, Dinosaur and this book aims to summarize current understanding of dinosaur science in a technical, but accessible, style, supplemented with vivid photographs and illustrations. Paleobiology Dinosaur The Topics in Paleobiology Series is published in collaboration with the Palaeontological Association, Paleobiology and is edited by Professor Mike Benton, University of Bristol. Stephen Brusatte is a vertebrate paleontologist and PhD student at Columbia University and the American Museum of Natural History. His research focuses on the anatomy, systematics, and evolution of fossil vertebrates, especially theropod dinosaurs. He is particularly interested in the origin of major groups such Stephen L. Brusatte as dinosaurs, birds, and mammals. Steve is the author of over 40 research papers and three books, and his work has been profi led in The New York Times, on BBC Television and NPR, and in many other press outlets.

  • A Huge Predatory Dinosaur, Built to Swim
    Science Now Discoveries from the world of science and medicine Spinosaurus: A huge predatory dinosaur, built to swim A digital skeletal reconstruction and transparent flesh outline of Spinosaurus aegyptiacus. The bones suggest this dinosaur was built to swim. Color codes show the origin of different parts of the digital skeletal model. (Model by Tyler Keillor, Lauren Conroy and Erin Fitzgerald, Ibrahim et al., Science/AAAS) By AMINA KHAN SEPTEMBER 11, 2014, 9:45 PM inosaurs ruled the land for millions of years. Now scientists have discovered a fearsome D species that could have wreaked havoc in its prehistoric waters. An unusual fossil whose parts were flung across two continents appears to be the first known semi-aquatic dinosaur, according to a report published Thursday by the journal Science. Measuring 9 feet longer than a Tyrannosaurus rex, the 95-million-year-old Spinosaurus aegyptiacus would have been the largest predatory dinosaur to walk the Earth. But it had several features that strongly suggest a life spent largely submerged in the water, including nostrils pushed toward the top of its skull and diagonally jutted teeth ideal for snapping up fish. “It was not a balancing, two-legged animal on land,” said study coauthor Paul Sereno, a paleontologist at the University of Chicago. “It would have been something very peculiar.” The differences between this Spinosaurus and other theropods are apparent from head to toe. Most theropods, like T. rex, ran on two powerful legs and had small, spindly arms. By contrast, the 50-foot-long Spinosaurus had muscular arms with blade-like claws that could have nabbed slippery prey, and shorter legs that were ill-equipped to walk on land.

You take your sandwich outside and you sit down to enjoy your lunch with a beautiful view of Montana’s Rocky Mountains. As you look up, you see what appears to be a bone sticking out of the side of a rock wall. That bone just so happens to be part of one of the best-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex fossils ever found. If you are Bob Harmon, a field crew chief of the Museum of the Rockies, ​ that is exactly what happened. In the year 2000 Bob Harmon discovered a 68 million-year-old fossil, which is now named “B-Rex” after him. Tyrannosaurus rex lived 65 to 70 million years ago, in what ​ is now the western parts of the United States. They were among the last of the large dinosaurs that lived on Earth. In certain rare cases, dinosaur bones were trapped in the Earth and were preserved until the present day, through a process called fossilization. Much of what we know about dinosaurs ​ ​ comes from the scientific study of the shape, appearance, composition, and location of fossils. Dinosaurs' bodies were made up of the same general types of biological building blocks seen in all animals, such as tissues, cells, and proteins.

Dyson Head, Department of Geology and Geography Lafayette College Member, Research Committee on Glaciers American Geophysical Union* The glaciers of Glacier National Park are only a few of many thousands which occur in mountain ranges scattered throughout the world. Glaciers occur in all latitudes and on every continent except Australia. They are present along the Equator on high volcanic peaks of Africa and in the rugged Andes of South America. Even in New Guinea, which many think of as a steaming, tropical jungle island, a few small glaciers occur on the highest mountains. Almost everyone who has made a trip to a high mountain range has heard the term, "snowline," and many persons have used the word with­ out knowing its real meaning. The true snowline, or "regional snowline" as the geologists call it, is the level above which more snow falls in winter than can he melted or evaporated during the summer. On mountains which rise above the snowline glaciers usually occur.

Apesar desta grande distribuição temporal e geográfica, pouco se sabe sobre este grupo de dinossauros uma vez que a maior parte dos espécimes são incompletos. O clado Spinosauridae é dividido em Baryonychinae (Suchomimus + Baryonyx + Cristatosaurus) e Spinosaurinae (Spinosaurus+ Angaturama + Irritator). Apenas na África representantes destes dois clados foram encontrados. Uma possível explicação para a distribuição dos espinossaurídeos seria a dispersão de formas relacionadas a Baryonyx (o mais primitivo membro do grupo) da Europa para a África, onde surgiram os Spinosaurinae que posteriormente se distribuíram para a América do Sul. Palavras-chave: Dinosauria, Theropoda, Spinosauridae Abstract Spinosaur remains were collected in Africa, Europa, Asia and Brazil, coming from deposits with ages ranging from the Late Jurassic to the Late Cretaceous.

  • Triassic, Carnian) and the Early Evolution of Sauropodomorpha
    A Basal Sauropodomorph (Dinosauria: Saurischia) from the Ischigualasto Formation (Triassic, Carnian) and the Early Evolution of Sauropodomorpha Ricardo N. Martinez*, Oscar A. Alcober Museo de Ciencias Naturales, San Juan, Argentina Abstract Background: The earliest dinosaurs are from the early Late Triassic (Carnian) of South America. By the Carnian the main clades Saurischia and Ornithischia were already established, and the presence of the most primitive known sauropodomorph Saturnalia suggests also that Saurischia had already diverged into Theropoda and Sauropodomorpha. Knowledge of Carnian sauropodomorphs has been restricted to this single species. Methodology/Principal Findings: We describe a new small sauropodomorph dinosaur from the Ischigualsto Formation (Carnian) in northwest Argentina, Panphagia protos gen. et sp. nov., on the basis of a partial skeleton. The genus and species are characterized by an anteroposteriorly elongated fossa on the base of the anteroventral process of the nasal; wide lateral flange on the quadrate with a large foramen; deep groove on the lateral surface of the lower jaw surrounded by prominent dorsal and ventral ridges; bifurcated posteroventral process of the dentary; long retroarticular process transversally wider than the articular area for the quadrate; oval scars on the lateral surface of the posterior border of the centra of cervical vertebrae; distinct prominences on the neural arc of the anterior cervical vertebra; distal end of the scapular blade nearly three times wider than the neck; scapular blade with an expanded posterodistal corner; and medial lamina of brevis fossa twice as wide as the iliac spine. Conclusions/Significance: We regard Panphagia as the most basal sauropodomorph, which shares the following apomorphies with Saturnalia and more derived sauropodomorphs: basally constricted crowns; lanceolate crowns; teeth of the anterior quarter of the dentary higher than the others; and short posterolateral flange of distal tibia.

Only two such giant “raptors” have been described from North America. Here, we describe a new giant dromaeosaurid, Dakotaraptor steini gen. et sp. nov., from the Hell Creek Formation of South Dakota. The discovery represents the first giant dromaeosaur from the Hell Creek Formation, and the most recent in the fossil record worldwide. A row of prominent ulnar papilli or “quill knobs” on the ulna is our first clear evidence for feather quills on a large dromaeosaurid forearm and impacts evolutionary reconstructions and functional morphology of such derived, typically flight-related features.
