Los Angeles Natural History Museum. I know that Thomas Carr and Tom Williamson
will have a paper out soon redescribing the skull and I will have a new interpretation
of the skull in the WAVP/SPS volume and that will be published soon. >>If you have the Dinosauria, there is a
picture of Aublysodon in it, the left one. That is the so-called skull of the
Jordan theropod or Aublysodon molnari (=Stygivenator), it's just the front end
of the snouth, with parts of the nasal and the maxilla. Not much has been
published on it so it seems, but as it probably turns out to be, is that
Aublysodon is probably a juvenile T.rex. If you don't have the book, I could
scan the image for you...<< Not quite.
The type Aublysodon is from the Campanian and may or may not be different from
all the other teeth that have been assigned to Aublysodon. Ford & Chure, Carr
& Williamson, Currie, Holtz have all come to the conclusion that many if
not all Aublysodon teeth are teeth of juveniles of known tyrannosaurs, not just
T. rex. Stygivenator and Dinotyrannus are juveniles of T. rex. Some are
Gorgosaurus, Daspletosaurus, etc. Each tooth and time period needs to be looked
at. Rutger Jansma Tracy L. Ford P. O. Box 1171 Poway Ca 92074 |
