This formation records a gigantic eolian sand sea (erg), formed under an arid climate in the south-central part of Gondwana. This trackway is composed of two track rows, whose internal width is less than one-quarter of the external width, with alternating to staggered series, consisting of three elliptical tracks that can vary from slightly elongated to tapered or circular. The trackways were found in yellowish/reddish sandstone in a quarry in the Araraquara municipality, São Paulo State. Comparisons with neoichnological studies and morphological inferences indicate that the producer of Paleohelcura araraquarensis isp. nov. was most likely a pterygote insect, and so could have fulfilled one of the Submitted 6 November 2019 ecological roles that different species of this group are capable of performing in dune Accepted 10 March 2020 deserts.

  • Titanosauriform Teeth from the Cretaceous of Japan

Basal titanosauriforms were present in Japan during the Early Cretaceous before Aptian, and there is the possibility that the Brachiosauridae may have been included. Basal titanosauriforms with peg-like teeth were present during the “mid” Cretaceous, while the Titanosauria with peg-like teeth was present during the middle of Late Cretaceous. Recent excavations of Cretaceous sauropods in Asia showed that multiple lineages of sauropods lived throughout the Cretaceous in Asia. Japanese fossil records of sauropods are conformable with this hypothesis. Key words: Sauropod, Titanosauriforms, tooth, Cretaceous, Japan.

Loope and Jesper Milàn Dinosaur tracks are abundant in wind-blown hooves of the bison deformed soft, laminated sediment – the Mesozoic deposits, but the nature of loose eolian sand perfect medium to preserve recognizable tracks. The next makes it difficult to determine how they are preserved. This windstorm buried the tracks. Today, the thick cover of grasses also raises the questions: Why would dinosaurs be walking protects the land surface so well that there are no soft, lami- around in dune fields in the first place? And, if they did go nated sediments for cattle to step on. And, if any tracks were, there, why would their tracks not be erased by the next wind somehow, to get formed, no moving sediment would be avail- storm? able to bury them. Mesozoic eolian sediments around the world, which have been the focus of a number of case studies Introduction in recent years, preserve the tracks of dinosaurs that walked on actively migrating sand dunes. This chapter summarizes Most dunes today form only in deserts and along shore- the known occurrences of dinosaur tracks in Mesozoic eo- lines – the only sandy land surfaces that are nearly devoid of lian strata and discusses their unique modes of preservation plants. Normally plants slow the wind at the ground surface and the anatomical and behavioral information about the enough that sand will not move even when the plant cover trackmakers that can be deduced from them.

  • Stegosaurian Footprints from the Morrison Formation of Utah and Their Implications for Interpreting Other Ornithischian Tracks Gerard D
    Stegosaurian footprints from the Morrison Formation of Utah and their implications for interpreting other ornithischian tracks Gerard D. Gierliński and Karol Sabath Polish Geological Institute, Rakowiecka 4, 00-975 Warsaw, Poland. e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT - The supposed stegosaurian track Deltapodus Whyte & Romano, 1994 (Middle Jurassic of England) is sauro- pod-like, elongate and plantigrade, but many blunt-toed, digitigrade, large ornithopod-like footprints (including pedal print cast associated with the manus of Stegopodus Lockley & Hunt, 1998) from the Upper Jurassic of Utah, better fit the stego- saurian foot pattern. The Morrison Formation of Utah yielded other tracks fitting the dryomorph (camptosaur) foot pattern (Dinehichnus Lockley et al., 1998) much better than Stegopodus. If the Stegopodus pedal specimen (we propose to shift the emphasis from the manus to the pes in the revised diagnosis of this ichnotaxon) and similar ichnites are proper stegosaur foot- prints, Deltapodus must have been left by another thyreophoran trackmaker. Other Deltapodus-like (possibly ankylosaurian) tracks include Navahopus Baird,1980 and Apulosauripus Nicosia et al., 1999. Heel-dominated, short-toed forms within the Navahopus-Deltapodus-Apulosauripus plexus differ from the gracile, relatively long-toed Tetrapodosaurus Sternberg, 1932, traditionally regarded as an ankylosaurian track. Thus, the original interpretation of the latter as a ceratopsian track might be correct, supporting early (Aptian) appearance of ceratopsians in North America. Isolated pedal ichnites from the Morrison Formation (with a single tentatively associated manus print, and another one from Poland) and the only known trackways with similar footprints (Upper Jurassic of Asturias, Spain) imply bipedal gait of their trackmakers. Thus, problems with stegosaur tracks possibly stem from the expectation of their quadrupedality.

  • The Anatomy and Phylogenetic Relationships of Antetonitrus Ingenipes (Sauropodiformes, Dinosauria): Implications for the Origins of Sauropoda
    THE ANATOMY AND PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS OF ANTETONITRUS INGENIPES (SAUROPODIFORMES, DINOSAURIA): IMPLICATIONS FOR THE ORIGINS OF SAUROPODA Blair McPhee A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 2013 i ii ABSTRACT A thorough description and cladistic analysis of the Antetonitrus ingenipes type material sheds further light on the stepwise acquisition of sauropodan traits just prior to the Triassic/Jurassic boundary. Although the forelimb of Antetonitrus and other closely related sauropododomorph taxa retains the plesiomorphic morphology typical of a mobile grasping structure, the changes in the weight-bearing dynamics of both the musculature and the architecture of the hindlimb document the progressive shift towards a sauropodan form of graviportal locomotion. Nonetheless, the presence of hypertrophied muscle attachment sites in Antetonitrus suggests the retention of an intermediary form of facultative bipedality. The term Sauropodiformes is adopted here and given a novel definition intended to capture those transitional sauropodomorph taxa occupying a contiguous position on the pectinate line towards Sauropoda. The early record of sauropod diversification and evolution is re- examined in light of the paraphyletic consensus that has emerged regarding the ‘Prosauropoda’ in recent years. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to express sincere gratitude to Adam Yates for providing me with the opportunity to do ‘real’ palaeontology, and also for gladly sharing his considerable knowledge on sauropodomorph osteology and phylogenetics. This project would not have been possible without the continued (and continual) support (both emotionally and financially) of my parents, Alf and Glenda McPhee – Thank you.

  • 1 Uphill-Only Dinosaur Tracks? a Talking Rocks 2017 Participant
    1 Uphill-only Dinosaur Tracks? A Talking Rocks 2017 Participant Seeks Answers Robert T. Johnston Talking Rocks 2017 was a geology tour organized by Adventist pastor John McLarty and guided by Gerald Bryant, an Adventist geology professor at Dixie State University (St. George, UT) and an expert in the sedimentary geology of the area—in particular, the extensive sandstone outcrops of the geologic unit formally known as the Navajo Sandstone. I had the pleasure of participating in the first Talking Rocks tour last year and enjoyed the experience so much that I went again this year! Two other participants from 2016 also repeated. New participants included a mix of men and women of varied backgrounds and points of view on the age of the earth and “Flood geology”, and two children. Besides Bryant, none of us had formal geology backgrounds, but we were eager to learn more about geology and the intersection of faith and science. We converged on St. George, Utah, from where we traveled to various sites in Utah and northern Arizona. Places not visited last year included the Pine Valley Mountains, new sites in Snow Canyon, and a hike to what locals call the Vortex, an amazing area where a complex stack of ancient, trough-shaped dune deposits is dissected by the modern canyons. The topography features an enormous vortex-shaped “scour pit”1 at the top of a ridge, where sand grains loosened by weathering are removed by wind currents sweeping the landscape (Figure 1).

[email protected]; 3Department of Geography and Geology, University of Nebraska, Omaha, NE 68182 U.S.A. [email protected]; Abstract—In the University of Utah Ichnology Collection we have located a small collection of ichnofossils from the Nugget Sandstone that was part of an unpublished Master’s thesis by Sheryl Albers. This historically significant collection, which was made from an active stone quarry, includes invertebrate and vertebrate traces, both as latex molds of specimens and actual fossils. These specimens allow a description of all the ichnofossils from the Heber quarry, based on both museum specimens and field photos of uncollected fossils. The ichnofauna is typical of late Paleozoic and Mesozoic eolian dune slipface paleoenvironrnents. Most of the vertebrate traces are referable to Brasilichnium, with the exception of three rare lacertoid trackways, one of which preserves excellent detail. Invertebrate trackways are referable to both Paleohelcura and Octopodichnus. A few Entradichnus burrows are present. The abundance of trace fossils and closely spaced invertebrate and vertebrate traces with parallel orientation and the same direction of travel on the same bedding surface is unusual in the Nugget Sandstone and suggests that further examination of the Nugget exposures in the Heber area might prove fruitful.
