Judith/Two Med/Horseshoe fauna
Correct me about the following:
ALBERTOSAURUS: The once accepted species have been reassigned as follows:
Albertosaurus libratus: THE TYPE (AMNH, 5458 Judiith River Formation) IS NOW
BACK TO GORGOSAURUS LIBRATUS, A LARGE TOOTHED ALBERTOSAURID LIKE
DASPLETOSAURUS.
ALL OTHER specimens attributed to A.libratus ARE ALSO LARGE TOOTHED
ALBERTOSAURS NOW FLOATING OUT IN TAXONIOMIC SPACE SOMEWHERE (Pharrinj
suggests assigning them to Dinotyrannus)
Albertosaurus sternbergi: (AMNH 5664, FMNH PR308) Considered a juvinile of
"A.libratus" be Paul (1988): NOW GORGOSAURUS STEERNBERGI.
Albertosaurus arctungunguis: (Horseshoe Canyon) ALSO DUMPED FROM
ALBERTOSAURUS AND NOT REASSIGNED? Pharrinj suggests assigning these to
Dinotyrannus as well. Arte these now under Gorgosaurus arctunguensis
(TMP 81.10.1?
Albertosaurus megagracilis: (Hell Creek Formation) Now assigned its own
genus, DINOTYRANNUS
"Gorgosaurus libratus". Alias: "Albertogorgon lambei" (al a Pharrinj), "Big
toothed gorgo" (al la Bakker). Includes "gorgosaurus" sternbergi
(according to Pharrinj). Dinogeorge suggests affinities to Gorgosaurus
libratus: A NEW GENUS OF TYRANNOSAUR? A NEW
SPECIES OF ALBERTOSAURUS? HOW MANY SPECIMENS? WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?
WAS THIS THING UNDER A. LIBRATUS? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THING?
Albertosaurus sarcophagus: STILL VALID
(Judith River Group &
Horseshoe Canyon Formation)
DASPLETOSAURUS TOROSUSS: STILL HUNKY-DORY?
BAKKER'S "STRETCH SNOUTED DASPLETOSAUR": What is THIS?
This is a big mess that I would like soemone to clear up for me, please.
Has anyone published anything on this yet? Could someone give me the
reference?
I'm getting all this from the "Albertosaur Systematics" thing on Jeff
Polings Home Page.
