Another Dicynodont from the Triassic Muschelkalk of Germany and Its Biochronological Significance
نویسنده
چکیده
An isolated limb bone from the upper Anisian interval of the Muschelkalk in Bavaria, Germany is the radius of a Dinodontosaurus-grade dicynodont. This is the third dicynodont bone documented from the German Muschelkalk, and it may indicate that Dinodontosaurus records are not strictly Ladinian in age, but could also be

On the Validity and Phylogenetic Position of Eubrachiosaurus browni, a Kannemeyeriiform Dicynodont (Anomodontia) from Triassic North America
The large dicynodont Eubrachiosaurus browni from the Upper Triassic Popo Agie Formation of Wyoming is redescribed. Eubrachiosaurus is a valid taxon that differs from Placerias hesternus, with which it was previously synonymized, by greater anteroposterior expansion of the scapula dorsally and a very large, nearly rectangular humeral ectepicondyle with a broad supinator process. Inclusion of Eub...
متن کاملBiochronological Significance of Late Triassic Tetrapods from Krasiejów, Poland
The Krasiejów locality in the Upper Triassic of southern Poland yields the tetrapod taxa Cyclotosaurus robustus (= C. intermedius), Metoposaurus diagnosticus (we reject proposed subspecies of this species), Stagonolepis robertsoni, Teratosaurus suevicus (= T. silesiacus), Parasuchus bransoni and Silesaurus opolensis. The occurrences of Parasuchus and Metoposaurus indicate the Krasiejów assembla...
متن کاملBiochronology of Triassic bivalves
Substantial advances by numerous researchers over the past 20 years have made it possible to develop a composite biochronological scheme for the Triassic based on the bivalves Claraia, Peribositria, Enteropleura, Daonella, Halobia, Eomonotis and Monotis. These bivalves exhibit temporal durations nearly equal to ammonoids and conodonts. Widely distributed across the Tethys, Panthalassa and Borea...

Empirical Calibration for Dolomite Stoichiometry Calculation: Application on Triassic Muschelkalk-Lettenkohle Carbonates (French Jura) — This study concerns an approach for dolomite quantification and stoichiometry calculation by using X-ray diffractometry coupled with cell and Rietveld refinements and equipped with a newly substantial database of dolomite composition. A greater accuracy and pr...
متن کاملA New Dicynodont (Therapsida: Anomodontia) from the Permian of Southern Brazil and Its Implications for Bidentalian Origins
Dicynodonts were a highly successful group of herbivorous therapsids that inhabited terrestrial ecosystems from the Middle Permian through the end of the Triassic periods. Permian dicynodonts are extremely abundant in African deposits, but are comparatively poorly known from the other regions of Gondwana. Here we describe a new South American dicynodont, Rastodon procurvidens gen. et sp. nov., ...
