Abstract

A major question in Mesozoic biogeography is how the land-based dinosaurian radiation responded to fragmentation of Pangaea. A rich fossil record has been uncovered on northern continents that spans the Cretaceous, when continental isolation reached its peak. In contrast, dinosaur remains on southern continents are scarce. The discovery of dinosaurian skeletons from Lower Cretaceous beds in the southern Sahara shows that several lineages of tetanuran theropods and broad-toothed sauropods had a cosmopolitan distribution across Pangaea before the onset of continental fragmentation. The distinct dinosaurian faunas of Africa, South America, and Asiamerica arose during the Cretaceous by differential survival of once widespread lineages on land masses that were becoming increasingly isolated from one another., Although increased continental isolation has been implicated as the driving force behind the differentiation of Cretaceous dinosaurian faunas(1), a coherent picture of dinosaurian biogeography during this period has not been [...]

Abstract

Paleontologists have discovered a fossil of a ceratopsian dinosaur in Arizona which has never before been identified. Other fossil creatures, including a dromaeosaur and hadrosaur, have also been found at the site. Historical evidence suggests that the dinosaur was a small predator. It had brow horns and a skull like that of the Velociraptor dinosaur. Its official name has not yet been chosen.
