I'm giving you some information that your bodily fluids may penetrate your clothing fibre's without warning. All men are failed women at birth. You know when you get the outside genitalia, its like "Oh my god what have they done to me?". The best way to communicate is compatible. Compatible communication is listening with open ears and an open mind, and not being fearful or judgemental about what you're hearing. I've accepted the fact that what I want to do to find whats special about a woman is to be with women. And dress like them. And let them tell me what they feel like when they're dressed like that, because I can't do that if I go in there dressed like a man. Its like a symbology of this of your mouth is eating food, from your mouth to your heart, is your freedom and your independence and your identity. Listen to the 2 silence. And when the silence is deafening, you're in the center of your own universe. This is just common superficiality. Is thats whats so special about a woman? Superficiality with their face colours?

  • A Neoceratopsian Dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Mongolia And
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-020-01222-7 OPEN A neoceratopsian dinosaur from the early Cretaceous of Mongolia and the early evolution of ceratopsia ✉ Congyu Yu 1 , Albert Prieto-Marquez2, Tsogtbaatar Chinzorig 3,4, Zorigt Badamkhatan4,5 & Mark Norell1 1234567890():,; Ceratopsia is a diverse dinosaur clade from the Middle Jurassic to Late Cretaceous with early diversification in East Asia. However, the phylogeny of basal ceratopsians remains unclear. Here we report a new basal neoceratopsian dinosaur Beg tse based on a partial skull from Baruunbayan, Ömnögovi aimag, Mongolia. Beg is diagnosed by a unique combination of primitive and derived characters including a primitively deep premaxilla with four pre- maxillary teeth, a trapezoidal antorbital fossa with a poorly delineated anterior margin, very short dentary with an expanded and shallow groove on lateral surface, the derived presence of a robust jugal having a foramen on its anteromedial surface, and five equally spaced tubercles on the lateral ridge of the surangular. This is to our knowledge the earliest known occurrence of basal neoceratopsian in Mongolia, where this group was previously only known from Late Cretaceous strata. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that it is sister to all other neoceratopsian dinosaurs. 1 Division of Vertebrate Paleontology, American Museum of Natural History, New York 10024, USA. 2 Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont, ICTA-ICP, Edifici Z, c/de les Columnes s/n Campus de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, 08193 Cerdanyola del Vallès Sabadell, Barcelona, Spain. 3 Department of Biological Sciences, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695, USA. 4 Institute of Paleontology, Mongolian Academy of Sciences, ✉ Ulaanbaatar 15160, Mongolia.

  • Evidence of a New Carcharodontosaurid from the Upper Cretaceous of Morocco
    http://app.pan.pl/SOM/app57-Cau_etal_SOM.pdf SUPPLEMENTARY ONLINE MATERIAL FOR Evidence of a new carcharodontosaurid from the Upper Cretaceous of Morocco Andrea Cau, Fabio Marco Dalla Vecchia, and Matteo Fabbri Published in Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 2012 57 (3): 661-665. http://dx.doi.org/10.4202/app.2011.0043 SOM1. PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS Material and Methods The data set of the phylogenetic analysis includes 37 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) (35 ingroup neotheropod taxa, including one based on MPM 2594; and two basal theropod outgroups, Herrerasaurus and Tawa), and 808 character statements (see S2 and S3, below). The phylogenetic analyses were conducted through PAUP* vers. 4.010b (Swofford 2002). In the analysis, Herrerasaurus was used as root of the tree. The tree search strategy follows Benson (2009). The analysis initially performed a preliminary search using PAUPRat (Sikes and Lewis 2001). The unique topologies among the most parsimonious trees (MPTs) resulted after the preliminary search were used as a starting point for 1000 tree-bisection-reconnection branch swapping heuristic searches using PAUP*. Included taxa (and source for codings) Outgroup Herrerasaurus (Sereno 1993; Sereno and Novas 1993; Novas 1994; Sereno 2007) Tawa (Nesbitt et al. 2009) Ingroup Abelisaurus (Bonaparte and Novas 1985; Carrano and Sampson 2008) Acrocanthosaurus (Stoval and Landston 1950; Harris 1998; Currie and Carpenter 2000; Eddy and Clarke 2011) Allosaurus (Gilmore 1920; Madsen 1976) Baryonyx (Charig and Milner 1997; Mateus et al. 2010) Carcharodontosaurus (Stromer 1931; Sereno et al. 1996; Brusatte and Sereno 2007) Carnotaurus (Bonaparte et al. 1990) Ceratosaurus (Gilmore 1920; Madsen and Welles 2000).

  • A. K. Rozhdestvensky HISTORY of the DINOSAUR FAUNA of ASIA
    A. K. Rozhdestvensky HISTORY OF THE DINOSAUR FAUNA OF ASIA AND OTHER CONTINENTS AND QUESTIONS CONCERNING PALEOGEOGRAPHY* The distribution and evolution of dinosaur faunas during the period of their existence, from the Late Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous, shows a close connection with the paleogeography of the Mesozoic. However these questions were hard to examine on a global scale until recently, because only the dinosaurs of North America were well known, where during the last century were found their richest deposits and where the best paleontologists were studying them — J. Leidy, E. Cope, O. Marsh, R. Lull, H. Osborn, C. Gilmore, B. Brown, and later many others. On the remaining continents, including Europe, where the study of dinosaurs started earlier than it did in America, the information was rather incomplete due to the fragmentary condition of the finds and rare, episodic studies. The Asian continent remained unexplored the longest, preventing any intercontinental comparisons. Systematic exploration and large excavations of dinosaur locations in Asia, which began in the last fifty years (Osborn, 1930; Efremov, 1954; Rozhdestvenskiy, 1957a, 1961, 1969, 1971; Rozhdestvenskiy & Chzhou, 1960; Kielan-Jaworowska & Dovchin, 1968; Kurochkin, Kalandadze, & Reshetov, 1970; Barsbold, Voronin, & Zhegallo, 1971) showed that this continent has abundant dinosaur remains, particularly in its central part (Fig. 1). Their study makes it possible to establish a faunal connection between Asia and other continents, correlate the stratigraphy of continental deposits of the Mesozoic, because dinosaurs are reliable leading forms, as well as to make corrections in the existing paleogeographic structure. The latter, in their turn, promote a better understanding of the possible paths of distribution of the individual groups of dinosaurs, the reasons for their appearance, their development, and disappearance.

  • Descubren En Huesca Una Especie De Dinosaurios Desconocida En Europa
    TIERRA Descubren en Huesca una especie de dinosaurios desconocida en Europa La Universidad de Zaragoza ha descubierto en el municipio oscense de Arén fósiles de una nueva especie de dinosaurios hadrosáurido del subgrupo de los lambeosaurinos (con cresta), que se creía que nunca había existido en Europa, aunque sí en Asia y América. La revista geológica canadiense Canadian Journal of Earth Science acaba de publicar en su último número (diciembre de 2010) un trabajo con la descripción del nuevo dinosaurio hadrosáurido (“pico de pato”) español, llamado Blasisaurus canudoi. Unizar 9/12/2010 13:02 CEST Imagen de los fósiles hallados en Arén, correspondientes a Blasisaurus Canudoi.Foto: Unizar. Blasisaurus canudoi pertenecía al grupo de hadrosáuridos (picos de pato), llamados lambeosaurinos, que se caracterizaban por la presencia de estructuras alargadas o crestas en la cabeza (un ejemplo sería Parasaurolophus). Se trataba de un dinosaurio relativamente pequeño, que oscilaría entre los cinco y los siete metros de longitud, y con un peso que rondaría entre los 400 y 500 kilos. Además, poseía unas mandíbulas con cientos de dientes capaces de triturar las plantas más duras. La cresta craneal, formada por una serie de tubos por los que pasaba el aire, era utilizada para producir sonido y bramar en época TIERRA de celo. En todo el mundo existen unas 57 especies de hadrosáurios, y la hallada en Arén añade una más. El nombre de Blasisaurus ha sido dedicado al yacimiento Blasi (Arén), en el que se encontraron los restos y Canudoi, al paleontólogo aragonés José Ignacio Canudo, líder del Grupo Aragosaurus-IUCA (www.aragosaurus.com) de la Universidad de Zaragoza, por su contribución al estudio de los dinosaurios ibéricos.

  • Late Jurassic Theropod Dinosaur Bones from the Langenberg Quarry
    Late Jurassic theropod dinosaur bones from the Langenberg Quarry (Lower Saxony, Germany) provide evidence for several theropod lineages in the central European archipelago Serjoscha W. Evers1 and Oliver Wings2 1 Department of Geosciences, University of Fribourg, Fribourg, Switzerland 2 Zentralmagazin Naturwissenschaftlicher Sammlungen, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Halle (Saale), Germany ABSTRACT Marine limestones and marls in the Langenberg Quarry provide unique insights into a Late Jurassic island ecosystem in central Europe. The beds yield a varied assemblage of terrestrial vertebrates including extremely rare bones of theropod from theropod dinosaurs, which we describe here for the first time. All of the theropod bones belong to relatively small individuals but represent a wide taxonomic range. The material comprises an allosauroid small pedal ungual and pedal phalanx, a ceratosaurian anterior chevron, a left fibula of a megalosauroid, and a distal caudal vertebra of a tetanuran. Additionally, a small pedal phalanx III-1 and the proximal part of a small right fibula can be assigned to indeterminate theropods. The ontogenetic stages of the material are currently unknown, although the assignment of some of the bones to juvenile individuals is plausible. The finds confirm the presence of several taxa of theropod dinosaurs in the archipelago and add to our growing understanding of theropod diversity and evolution during the Late Jurassic of Europe.

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’’.

  • The Sauropodomorph Biostratigraphy of the Elliot Formation of Southern Africa: Tracking the Evolution of Sauropodomorpha Across the Triassic–Jurassic Boundary
    Editors' choice The sauropodomorph biostratigraphy of the Elliot Formation of southern Africa: Tracking the evolution of Sauropodomorpha across the Triassic–Jurassic boundary BLAIR W. MCPHEE, EMESE M. BORDY, LARA SCISCIO, and JONAH N. CHOINIERE McPhee, B.W., Bordy, E.M., Sciscio, L., and Choiniere, J.N. 2017. The sauropodomorph biostratigraphy of the Elliot Formation of southern Africa: Tracking the evolution of Sauropodomorpha across the Triassic–Jurassic boundary. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 62 (3): 441–465. The latest Triassic is notable for coinciding with the dramatic decline of many previously dominant groups, followed by the rapid radiation of Dinosauria in the Early Jurassic. Among the most common terrestrial vertebrates from this time, sauropodomorph dinosaurs provide an important insight into the changing dynamics of the biota across the Triassic–Jurassic boundary. The Elliot Formation of South Africa and Lesotho preserves the richest assemblage of sauropodomorphs known from this age, and is a key index assemblage for biostratigraphic correlations with other simi- larly-aged global terrestrial deposits. Past assessments of Elliot Formation biostratigraphy were hampered by an overly simplistic biozonation scheme which divided it into a lower “Euskelosaurus” Range Zone and an upper Massospondylus Range Zone. Here we revise the zonation of the Elliot Formation by: (i) synthesizing the last three decades’ worth of fossil discoveries, taxonomic revision, and lithostratigraphic investigation; and (ii) systematically reappraising the strati- graphic provenance of important fossil locations. We then use our revised stratigraphic information in conjunction with phylogenetic character data to assess morphological disparity between Late Triassic and Early Jurassic sauropodomorph taxa. Our results demonstrate that the Early Jurassic upper Elliot Formation is considerably more taxonomically and morphologically diverse than previously thought.

View the peer-reviewed version (peerj.com/articles/802), which is the preferred citable publication unless you specifically need to cite this preprint. Cruzado-Caballero P, Fortuny J, Llacer S, Canudo J. 2015. Paleoneuroanatomy of the European lambeosaurine dinosaur Arenysaurus ardevoli. PeerJ 3:e802 https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.802 Arenysaurus ardevoli, first paleoneuroanatomical description of a European hadrosaurid The neuroanatomy of hadrosaurid dinosaurs is well known from North America and Asia. In Europe only a few cranial remains have been recovered with the braincase. Arenysaurus is the first European endocast for which the paleoneuroanatomy has been studied. The resulting data have enabled us to draw ontogenetic, phylogenetic and functional inferences. Arenysaurus preserves the endocast and the inner ear. This cranial material was CT-scanned, and a 3D-model was generated. The endocast morphology supports a general pattern for hadrosaurids with some characters that distinguish to a subfamily PrePrints level, such as a brain cavity anteroposteriorly shorter or the angle of the major axis of the cerebral hemisphere to the horizontal in lambeosaurines. Both characters are present in the endocast of Arenysaurus. Moreover, osteological features indicate an adult ontogenetic stage while some paleoneuroanatomical features are indicative of a subadult ontogenetic stage and even a juvenile ontogenetic stage. Finally, a comparison with other hadrosaurids reveals that the low values for the angle of the dural peak may be an autapomorphy exclusive to the Parasaurolophus genus. It is hypothesized that the presence of puzzling characters that suggest different ontogenetic stages for this specimen, may reflect some degree of dwarfism in Arenysaurus.

  • Notes on British Dinosaurs. Part I: Hypsilophodon
    Dr. Francis Baron Nopcsa—British Dinosaurs. 203 II.—NOTES ON BRITISH DINOSAURS. PAET I: ffrpsiLOPHODOK. By Dr. FRANCIS BARON NOPCSA. (WITH A PAGE-ILLUSTRATION.) URING a recent stay in London the kindness of Dr. A. S. Woodward enabled me to study some of the splendid Dinosaurian remainD s in the British Museum. Having principally occupied myself till now with Ornithopodous Dinosaurs, first of all Hypsilophodon attracted my attention, and my expectation that this type would prove to be the clue for the- understanding of all the other Orthopoda has been perfectly fulfilled. Hypsilophodon was described and figured at various times by Owen, Huxley, and Hulke; a restoration of this animal was given by Marsh in the GEOLOGICAL MAGAZINE for 1896 (p. 6, Fig. 2), and the complete bibliographical list concerning this Dinosaur is compiled in my paper "Synopsis und Abstammung der Dinosaurier" (Foldtani Xozlony, 1901, Budapest). In consequence of our more recent knowledge of Dinosaurs in general I managed to detect some new points of remarkable interest. Mandible. What Hulke, in describing the Hypsilophodon skull, No. 110, supposed to be the parietal, frontal, and post-frontal bones (Phil. Trans., 1882, pi. lxxi, fig. 1, pa., fr., ps.f.), turned out to be the outer view of a complete right mandibular ramus, so that the parietal changes into an articular, the frontal becomes the dentary, and the post-frontal the coronoid bone. This piece (p. 207, Fig. 4) is, in fact, the finest mandibulum of Hypsilophodon I have seen in the whole collection, and as such worthy to be refigured. The general outline of the mandibulum, with its strongly ab- breviated post-coronoidal part and its blunt processus coronoideum, reminds one somewhat of the under jaw of Placodus gigas, though it differs of course in nearly every detail, being built up after the Iguanodon type.
