  1. #Fossil Discovery Rewrites Global #Dinosaur History sciencealert.com/fossil-discov paper: academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/ar

    "Ahvaytum bahndooiveche is now the oldest-known dinosaur from #Laurasia, the Northern Hemisphere land mass of the late Paleozoic supercontinent #Pangea... That age places it in a similar time period to #dinosaurs of Pangea's Southern Hemisphere land mass, #Gondwana, which were thought to be the world's first by a long shot."

    "they were previously thought to have emerged on the #supercontinent #Gondwana, in what is present-day #Australia. However, the new study indicates their common ancestor may have originated in the northern hemisphere, on the supercontinent #Laurasia, before spreading out further into the world."

    Interrelationships among Early Triassic faunas of Western #Gondwana and #Laurasia as illuminated by a new South American benthosuchid temnospondyl anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wile

    "Named #Kwatisuchus rosai, the #animal was approximately 1.5 m in length. It belonged to #Benthosuchidae, a small group of giant #crocodile-like #amphibians that lived during the Triassic. They were primarily aquatic, living in rivers and lakes."

  8. Now the more #riebeckite facies of the #Paleozoic #Quincy #Granite

    The Quincy granite was a prized architectural stone, most famously used in the #BunkerHill Monument in #Boston #Massachusetts. Current dating suggests it was intruded into #Avalonia before it glommed onto #Laurentia as #Laurasia and #Pangea were assembled. Today’s #photo set comes from a walk around the eponymous Bunker Hill Quarry. I’ll post more about the history later. Captions!

  9. #Paleontologists Discover New Species of #Dinosaur-Era Bird sci.news/paleontology/yatenavi

    New enantiornithine #bird from the the uppermost #Cretaceous of southern #Patagonia, #Argentina sciencedirect.com/science/arti

    #Yatenavis shares morphological features with Late Cretaceous #enantiornithines found at diverse localities, including #Madagascar, North America, Patagonia, and #CentralAsia. This may indicate the presence of an enantiornithine subclade widely distributed across #Gondwana and #Laurasia.
