DD1991 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I've actually followed scientific papers showing that more than one basal sauropodomorph lived in southern Africa during the Early Jurassic. Aardonyx and Ignavusaurus showed that the referral of all 'prosauropod' specimens from the Upper Elliot and Clarens Formations to Massospondylus following Cooper (1981) was erroneous. Ngwevu is only the second non-Massospondylus massospondylid from the Upper Elliot, and it remains to be seen if Aristosaurus, Dromicosaurus, Gyposaurus, Gryponyx, and Hortalotarsus are related to either Ngwevu or any other recently described Upper Elliot sauropodomorphs, or constitute taxa in their own right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
