DD1991 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 A new paper regarding a new primitive Early Jurassic theropod from the Lufeng Basin of China is out: Hai-Lu You, Yoichi Azuma, Tao Wang, Ya-Ming Wang and Zhi-Ming (2014). "The first well-preserved coelophysoid theropod dinosaur from Asia". Zootaxa 3873 (3): 233–249. doi:10.11646/zootaxa.3873.3.3. Coming upon the heels of another basal theropod, Tachiraptor, Panguraptor represents the second basal theropod from the Lufeng basin (the first being Sinosaurus). Since China was so far apart from other continents yielding Early Jurassic theropods (Africa, North America, South America, India), more research is needed to determine how Early Jurassic theropods made it to China from Gondwana.

Welsh Wizard Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) DD 1991. Thanks for posting this. I've just got hold of the paper as it'll be helpful to have another Lower Jurassic dinosaur to compare to the one we found and are in the process of having described.
