Re: Fusuisaurus zhaoi
dml
My bad - i repeated the Fusuisaurus abstract twice.
The correct Xuanhuaeratops abstract is
Zhao, X., Cheng, Z., Xu., X., and Makovicky, P. J. 2006. A New Ceratopsian from
the Upper Jurassic
Houcheng Formation of Hebei, China. Acta Geologica Sinica 80 (4): 467-473.
Abstractï¼?A new ceratopsian taxon Xuanhuaceratops niei gen. et sp. nov. is
erected based on four
fragmentary specimens collected from the Late Jurassic Houcheng Formation,
Hebei Province,
China.Xuanhuaceratops shares a number of derived features with, and is closely
related to, another
probable Late Juarassic ceratopsian Chaoyangsaurus youngi, from which it
differs in only
possessing a single premaxillary tooth as well as in details of quadrate and
scapular morphology.
We hypothesize that these two taxa represent a primitive lineage of Ceratopsia
that is basal to
the psittacosauridneoceratopsian diversity, and propose the name
Chaoyangsauridae for it.
Keywordsï¼?Houcheng Formation, Jurassic, Hebei, Chaoyangsauridae, Ceratopsia
