Hoplosaurus
''Struthiosaurus'' (Latin ''struthio'' = ostrich + Greek ''sauros'' = lizard) is a genus of nodosaurid dinosaurs, from the Late Cretaceous period (Santonian-Maastrichtian) of Austria, Romania, France and Hungary in Europe.''Struthiosaurus'' in The Dinosaur Encyclopaedia at Dino Russ's Lair It was a small dinosaur, measuring in length and weighing . History of discovery In 1859, geologist Eduard Suess at the ''Gute Hoffnung'' coal mine at Muthmannsdorf near Wiener Neustadt in Austria, discovered a dinosaur tooth on a stone pile. With the help of mine intendant Pawlowitsch it was attempted to find the source of the fossil material. The search proved fruitless at first but ultimately a thin marl layer was discovere ...[...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aelurosaurus
''Aelurosaurus'' ("cat lizard", from Ancient Greek "cat" and "lizard") is a small, carnivorous, extinct genus of gorgonopsian therapsids from the Middle Permian to Late Permian of South Africa. It was discovered in the Karoo Basin of South Africa, and first named by Richard Owen in 1881. It was named so because it appeared to be an ancestor for cat-like marsupials, but not yet a mammal itself. It contains five species, ''A. felinus'', ''A. whaitsi, A. polyodon'', ''A. wilmanae, and A.? watermeyeri''.Owen, R. 1881. On the order Theriodontia with a description of a new genus and species (Aelurognathus fel. Ow.). Quat. Jour. Geol. Soc. London. (Vol. 37): 261–265. ''A. felinus'', the type species, is generally well described with established features, while the other four species are not due to their poorly preserved holotypes. __TOC__ Discovery ''Aelurosaurus'' was discovered in 1881 in the Karoo Basin of South Africa.

Nyctodactylus
''Nyctosaurus'' (meaning "night lizard" or "bat lizard") is a genus of nyctosaurid pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous period of what is now the Niobrara Formation of the mid-western United States, which, during the time ''Nyctosaurus'' was alive, was covered in an extensive shallow sea. Some remains belonging to a possible ''Nyctosaurus'' species called ''N.lamegoi'' have been found in Brazil, making ''Nyctosaurus'' more diverse. The genus ''Nyctosaurus'' has had numerous species referred to it, though how many of these may actually be valid requires further study. At least one species possessed an extraordinarily large antler-like cranial crest. ''Nyctosaurus'' was a mid-sized pterosaur that lived along the shores of the Niobrara Formation of the United States, which back then was within a large inland sea called the Western Interior Seaway. It has been suggested that it would have flown similar to modern-day soaring birds such as albatrosses, which consisted of flying very lo ...

Laopteryx
''Laopteryx'' is the name assigned to a pterosaur (flying reptile) from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Wyoming, United States; it was originally thought to be a bird. The genus was named in 1881 by Othniel Charles Marsh. The generic name is derived from Greek ''laas'', "stone", and ''pteryx'', "wing". The full species name given by Marsh was ''Laopteryx priscum''; the specific name meaning "of venerable age" in Latin. However, Marsh incorrectly used the neuter form, while ''pteryx'' is feminine in Greek. (See grammatical gender.) This was in the 19th century emended to an, also incorrect, masculine ''priscus'' and in 1971 by Pierce Brodkorb to ''prisca''. A partial skull, holotype YPM 1800, was discovered in ''Quarry 9'' at Como Bluff. It consists of a piece from the hind portion of the cranium. There is also a single tooth, found near the skull and referred to the type. Marsh identified it as a bird, about the size of a heron, of the family Archaeopterygidae within ...

Dermodactylus
''Dermodactylus'' (meaning "skin finger", from Greek ''derma'' and ''daktylos'', in reference to pterosaur wings being skin membranes supported by the ring fingers) was a genus of pterodactyloid (general term for "short-tailed" pterosaur) pterosaur from the Kimmeridgian-Tithonian-age Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Wyoming, United States. It is based on a single partial bone, from the hand. History and classification ''Dermodactylus'' is based on a single distal right fourth metacarpal found by Samuel Wendell Williston at Como Bluff, Wyoming in 1878; this bone is currently housed in the collections of the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History in New Haven, Connecticut (YPM 2020YPM=Yale University Peabody Museum of Natural History, New Haven, Connecticut.). This bone constituted at the time the oldest pterosaur remains found, recognized, and described from North America. Othniel Charles Marsh first named it as a species of ''Pterodactylus'': ''P. montanus'', the specific n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rhadinosaurus
''Rhadinosaurus'' (meaning "slender lizard") is a genus of nodosaurid ankylosaur first described in 1881 by Harry Govier Seeley, based on remains uncovered in Austria sometime between 1859 and 1870 by Edward Suess and Pawlowitsch. It was a herbivore that lived around 84.9 to 70.6 million years ago (during the Late Cretaceous period). The type species is ''R. alcimus''. Fossils The ''Rhadinosaurus'' hypodigm (holotype) consists of one tibia fragment, one limb fragment, two fibulae, and two dorsal vertebrae. The fibulae (PIUW 2349/34), which are clearly ankylosaurian, were originally identified as femora in the original description, but were eventually re-identified in a 2001 review of ankylosaur specimens from the Grünbach Formation.X.

Ornithomerus
''Mochlodon'' is a genus of rhabdodontid dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous of Austria and Hungary. It lived during the Late Cretaceous (85-80 Ma) and two species are known: ''M. suessi'' and ''M. vorosi''. Discovery and species In 1859 coal mine administrator Pawlowitsch notified the University of Vienna that some fossils had been found in the ''Gute Hoffnung'' mine at Muthmannsdorf in Austria. A team headed by geologists Eduard Suess and Ferdinand Stoliczka subsequently uncovered numerous bones of several species, among them those of a euornithopod dinosaur. Stored at the university museum, the finds remained undescribed until they were studied by Emanuel Bunzel from 1870 onwards. Bunzel in 1871 named the euornithopod a new species of '' Iguanodon'': ''Iguanodon suessii''. The specific name honours Suess and is today more often spelled ''suessi''. In 1881 Harry Govier Seeley named a separate genus: ''Mochlodon''. The generic name is derived from Greek ''mokhlos'', "bar", ...

Rhabdodon
''Rhabdodon'' (meaning "fluted tooth") is a genus of ornithopod dinosaur that lived in Europe approximately 70-66 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous. It is similar in build to a very robust "hypsilophodont" (non-iguanodont ornithopod), though all modern phylogenetic analyses find this to be an unnatural grouping, and ''Rhabdodon'' to be a basal member of Iguanodontia. It was large amongst its relatives, measuring long and weighing , with some specimens possibly reaching up to long. Discovery Two species of ''Rhabdodon'' are known, ''Rhabdodon priscus'', the type species, and ''R. septimanicus'' (Buffetaut and Le Loeuff, 1991). ''Rhabdodon'' remains are currently known from southern France, although fragmentary remains from eastern Spain have been assigned to the genus. ''Rhabdodon'' was large compared to its nearest relatives, and indeed one recent paper ( Ősi ''et al.'' (2012)) determined it is larger than the basal rhabdodontid status; from this they suggested that it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
