pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Wow! The Moroccan isolated just keep amazing, don't they? Too bad the descriptive article is pay-walled, as I would've loved to find out a bit more about the actual material of this mosasaur species - but the blog-post was very informative in its own right.

jnoun11 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 pluridens serpentis anatomy how did you call a squamate with nasal beetween premaxillary process and frontal process? a varan??? i m curious how the publishers make the diagnosis of this pluridens... why the scientist didnt separates the differents bones before description ? it s much more easy after for a complete description, the phosphate material is very easy to clean. i was thinking pluridens was now halisaurus. 2 1 The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

According to Wikipedia: "Pluridens was briefly synonymized with Halisaurus by Lindgren and Siverson (2005), but subsequent studies rejected the synonymy." 1 'There's nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fibre and, in some cases, backbone' -- Terry Pratchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
