Re: 1st Symposium on European Dinosaurs and EuroDino Database



 
     The full programme of the Symposium and my abstract on "Late Jurassic dinosaurs" are available at my homepage http://homepage.av.com/lourinhanosaurus/home.html
Some of the talks were
Fabio Marco Dalla Vecchia "Dinosaurs of NE Italy, Slovenia and Croatia"
   The interesting part is "A complete articulated skeleton and other remains (...) belonging to several individuals of small, primitive hadrosaurs"
 
Hartmut Haubold         The status of Emausaurus, Ornithischia: Thyreophora
   His presentation was a small version of the paper describing Emausaurus as a basal Thyreophora.
For more details see Haublod (1990). Revue Paléobiol. 9, 1: 149-177.
 
Octávio Mateus & Miguel Telles Antunes      Late Jurassic Dinosaurs of Portugal
See full abstract at http://homepage.av.com/lourinhanosaurus/dussel2000.html  
 
     There are a group of abstracts. I do not know if they are available but contact Sven Sachs dinosven@hotmail.com to request it.
 
    We also have discussed the importance of a database for dinosaurs (cast or originals) in Europe, where would be listed, species by species, the Museum in Europe where we can find each dinosaur. That would be a important tool for palaeontologists who must do anatomical comparisons and need travel to compare dinosaurs. We are still planing the way to do it, but we will need the help of all those who have that data.
The database shall include:
Genus and species of the dinosaur ,
If is present the complete animal, only skull or only postcranial,
If it is original or cast,
If it is a holotype
Museum where it is
Address and Email of the museum and curator (if possible)
Link to the museum page (if possible)
 
    From now on do not forget to make a list of the dinosaurs if you visit a European museum. That can be useful!
 
      Therefore, if anyone has lists of dinosaurs (originals and casts) in European museums, we would be grateful if share it with us to include in that database that will be available to everyone in the web. Lists can be sent to me. Thanks in advance.
