Troodon Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Pretty Cool Described in this paper is a new iguanodontian ornithopod, Choyrodon barsboldi from the Albian-aged Khuren Dukh Formation of Mongolia based on several partial skeletons interpreted to represent a subadult growth stage based on osteohistological features. https://peerj.com/articles/5300/ A new iguanodontian (Dinosauria: Ornithopoda) from the Early Cretaceous of Mongolia Terry A.

The Amateur Paleontologist Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Was the material collected by Currie's team or Norrell's team? Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy! Q. Where do dinosaurs study? A. At Khaan Academy!...

No mention in the paper who collected it. Have to believe no since they were not listed as authors 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdp Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Looks like this is Dr. Lindsay Zanno's team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitbat Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Well...I incorporated this one into my pdf library as I do with all of your great finds, Troodon. I made the sad mistake of trying to reorganize the section on Iguanodontians to incorporate the latest cladistic findings but finally gave up in frustration! Everybody and their Aunt Tillie seems to have their own blasted cladogram and none of them agree with each other! I HATE cladistics! It may be more reflective of true relationships between organisms but it doesn't make any sense. I'm going to hang onto the old rank-based taxonomy as much as I can! -Joe 1 Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Thanks, yes cladistics can be a challenge definitely a moving target based on individual views. I think you do a great job keeping it as well organized as you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
