Aralosaurus
''Aralosaurus'' was a genus of hadrosaurid dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous in what is now Kazakhstan. It is known only by a posterior half of a skull (devoid of its mandible) and some post-cranial bones found in the Bostobe Formation in rocks dated from the Upper Santonian-Lower Campanian boundary, at about 83.6 Ma (millions of years). Only one species is known, ''Aralosaurus tuberiferus'', described by Anatoly Konstantinovich Rozhdestvensky in 1968. The genus name means Aral Sea lizard, because it was found to the northeast of the Aral Sea. The specific epithet ''tuberiferus'' means bearing a tuber because the posterior part of the nasal bone rises sharply in front of the orbits like an outgrowth. ''Aralosaurus'' was originally reconstituted with a nasal arch similar to that of North American ''Kritosaurus'' (a comparison based on a specimen now placed in the genus ''Gryposaurus''). For many years, ''Aralosaurus'' was thus placed in the clade of the Hadrosaurinae. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Probactrosaurus
''Probactrosaurus'' (meaning "before ''Bactrosaurus''") is an early herbivorous hadrosauroid iguanodont dinosaur. It lived in China during the Early Cretaceous Period (geology), period. Discovery and species In 1959 and 1960 a Soviet-Chinese expedition uncovered the remains of a euornithopoda, euornithopod in Inner Mongolia near Maortu. The type species is ''Probactrosaurus gobiensis'', described and named by Anatoly Konstantinovich Rozhdestvensky, A. K. Rozhdestvensky in 1966 in paleontology, 1966. The generic name refers to Rozhdestvensky's hypothesis that ''Probactrosaurus'' would be the direct ancestor of ''Bactrosaurus'', a notion now discarded. The specific name (zoology), specific name refers to the Gobi Desert. The holotype specimen, PIN 2232/1, a partial skeleton with skull, was found in layers of the Miaogou Formation (Maortu locality; originally interpreted as the nearby Dashuigou Formation). Another partial skeleton, PIN 2232-10, was found along with numerous other ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
