Huene (1942) didn't list the numbers, but we know the femur and tibia are 53 and 54, and he described the material in order- ?scute, femur, tibia, vertebra, ilium, ischium, calcaneum, calcaneum. Thus it would make sense for the type ?scute to be 52, and also for my listing above based on Kischlat to be wrong and the vertebra, ilium, ischium, and two calcanea to be 55-59.Mickey Mortimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831823442911513851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248412803814730250.post-28183988674773709972018-07-09T16:53:29.462-07:002018-07-09T16:53:29.462-07:00What is the specimen # for Hoplitosuchus' holo...What is the specimen # for Hoplitosuchus' holotype?Philoceratopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578624170490696939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248412803814730250.post-62610556568064093672014-03-06T07:41:48.007-08:002014-03-06T07:41:48.007-08:00For your statement: "Leveraging basal dinosau...For your statement: "Leveraging basal dinosaurs may be the remains of Spondylosoma was a chimera between a basal Dinosauria and Rauisuchia"<br /><br />In his 2009 thesis concerning basal archosaur relationships, Nesbitt (2009) could not find any characters that link Spondylosoma with any clade of pseudosuchians or ornithodirans and places Spondylosoma at Archosauria incertae sedis. In fact, the characters that Galton used to re-assign Spondylosoma to Rauisuchidae are also found in aetosaurs and it's possible that Spondylosoma could be part of an unknown clade of archosaurs.<br /><br />NESBITT, S.J.2009.

What's the full reference for the large Zambian silesaur, since Lutungutali seems normal in size? Forcing Teyuwasu to be a silesaurid is 3 more steps, which is normally pretty plausible but bad when only the femur and tibia are known.Mickey Mortimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831823442911513851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248412803814730250.post-59988537151080519752014-03-02T22:54:20.675-08:002014-03-02T22:54:20.675-08:00Very interesting observations Mickey, apparently i...Very interesting observations Mickey, apparently it could be that we had a robust silesaur, at least there are large Silesaurs in Zambia (Peecook, Huttenlocker & Sidor, 2013) and Tanzania (Barrett, Peecook & Nesbitt, 2013)Pixagonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18195814903551576172noreply@blogger.com
