MARGINOCEPHALIANS and Triassic times
MARGINOCEPHALIANS from Maleri: Is that published? Are you sure that they are
Pachycephalosaur domes? I remember that an armoured basal archosaur was
discovered there, could it be a part of that? Colbert and Chatterjee have
insisted the majority of dinosaurian lineages had already emerged in the
TRIASSIC. In what I have read of their work there is never a strong defence
for this position. Could anyone please clarify why they feel so?. Further
are there an ongoing attempts to prospect for Triassic faunas that could
clarify the early evolution of Dinosaurs. Are there any new expeditions to
say Tendaguru being planned? It is strange that after work on the South
American Triassic faunas there have been no corresponding investigation in
say Sud Africa or India. I would be grateful if any information about
Triassic forms is provided.
Also a fair evaluation of Dinogeorge's outrageous ideas can never be done
unless the Triassic is investigated. Would it be fair to say that a
prediction of his model would be that bird like forms with primitive
features should be prevalent or at least detectable in the late Triassic
formations?
