VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY AT THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM

Contrtbutions from the Museum of Paleontology

Study of a previously unidentified dinosaur basicranium shows that it belongs to Triceratops sp., probably Triceratops horridus. The occipital condyle can be used to predict body size and skull size in extant reptiles, as illustrated here by study of Basiliscus vittatus and Alligator mississippiensis. Occipital condyle size is now known for 35 Triceratops specimens, and these can also be used t...

Much work on cave sites in Texas has occurred since these reviews. S...
