#campanian — Public Fediverse posts

I promise I am working hard on commissions! 🙏 But I had this sitting, almost complete... I worked so hard on it and love it so much. I wanted you guys to see it. This is my li'l parasaurolophus, Fern. This image will be the banner for any blog posts related to her and her story, "Fern's Path".

#NewSpecies of Ornithomimidae #dinosaurs identified in Mexico https://phys.org/news/2025-02-genus-species-ornithomimidae-dinosaur-family.html

A long-handed new ornithomimid dinosaur from the #Campanian (Upper #Cretaceous) Cerro del Pueblo Formation, Coahuila, #Mexico: Claudia Inés Serrano-Brañas et al. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0195667125000102

"it had long hands with a palm longer than its entire upper arm... their purpose was to allow the #dinosaur to reach into shrubs, trees or bushes to pull branches, twigs into its mouth"

New #fossils reveal one of the smallest #titanosaurs ever found https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/new-dinosaur-titanosaur-patagonia-fossils by Riley Black

A new titanosaur from the La Colonia Formation (#Campanian-#Maastrichtian), Chubut Province, Argentina https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08912963.2024.2332997

"Ten times smaller than other #titanosaurs, Titanomachya gimenezi reveals new details about life in ancient #Patagonia before the asteroid wiped out the #dinosaurs."

This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Euoplocephalus

Euoplocephalus was found in 1897 in Alberta.

In 1902 it was named #Stereocephalus. But that was found already be the name given to an insect (like most cool names).

In 1910 it was changed to Euoplocephalus.

In 1971 Walter Coombs concluded that all anklyosaurid remains from the #Campanian of North America belonged to Euoplocephalus.

Recently paleontologists have reverted several back to their own species.

"A partial skull originally thought to be from a T. rex might actually represent a previously unknown species... They have named this creature #Tyrannosaurus mcraeensis, after the McRae Formation where it was discovered."

#Jormungandr walhallaensis : a new mosasaurine from the Pierre Shale Formation (Middle #Campanian) of North Dakota https://digitallibrary.amnh.org/items/13b0485f-c73f-47f9-8d1d-0d4ab6aaedfb

"The specimen is estimated to be about 24 feet (7.3m) long, and in addition to flippers and a shark-like tail, it would have had 'angry eyebrows' caused by a bony ridge on the skull, and a slightly stumpy tail that would have been shorter than its body."

New fossil turtle paper! Using µCT on a Campanian baenid, we describe the morphological aspects of the inner ear and neuroanatomy that are largely unknown among baenids, including details of semicircular canals, digital endocast, and columella (stapes).

New giant #Campanian #fossil sea turtle from South-western Europe:

The new species, Leviathanochelys aenigmatica, was as large as the giant Archelon, making it one of the largest turtles ever to live!

A gigantic bizarre marine #turtle (#Testudines: #Chelonioidea) from the Middle #Campanian (Late #Cretaceous) of South-western Europe https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-22619-w

#Leviathanochelys is the largest #MarineTurtle ever discovered in Europe, and one of the largest found worldwide. These findings indicate that #gigantism in marine turtles developed independently in different lineages in both North America and Europe.
