    Abstract
    Osteoarthritis is extremely rare in wild mammal populations (less than 1%) and varies in frequency according to species (0--25%) in recent birds, where it is inversely related to size. Large population samples of Early Cretaceous birds in China permit us to analyze its frequency in one of the earliest avian radiations. In these samples, the larger bird (Caudipteryx) shows a high frequency (30%). The earliest previous documentation of primary osteoarthritis in any animal is in a family of Early Cretaceous dinosaurs (Iguanodontidae). We document its occurrence in a basal bird and in one of the forms considered by some to be a feathered dinosaur. These occurrences are 20 million years older than the next oldest occurrence of osteoarthritis.

    We describe a number of newly discovered dinosaur tracks from the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous Tuchengzi Formation, located in the core zone of Yanqing Silicified Wood National Geopark, during field work for the preparation of global geopark application in Yanqing County, Beijing. The preliminary research indicates that these may comprise thyreophoran (cf. Deltapodus isp.), theropod, ornithopod and probably sauropod tracks. The thyreophoran tracks indicate the presence of this family during the Late Jurassic in the Jibei-Liaoxi area. This may be related to the presence of ankylosaurids from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation, in Chaoyang, Liaoning. As they are rare, high-speed theropod tracks reveal aspects of their paleoethology. The dinosaur tracks from Yanqing constitute the first evidence of dinosaurs in Beijing. These also enrich the knowledge on the diversity of dinosaur species in the Tuchengzi Formation, which provides an excellent evolutionary sample to compare with that of the later Jehol Fauna.

    A probable theropod dinosaur crouching trace and associated tracks
    from the Tuchengzi (Houcheng) Formation of Siliang Mountain, Chicheng
    County, Hebei Province, China are the largest theropod tracks
    currently known from the formation. Although the crouching trace lacks
    manus and tail marks, the traces are interpreted as made by a
    crouching theropod because they include a left metatarsal impression
    and associated ischial, and possibly pubic, callosity traces. This
    represents the third known example of an asymmetric crouching position
    adopted by a theropod.

Burch & Carrano, 2012
An articulated pectoral girdle and forelimb of the abelisaurid theropod Majungasaurus crenatissimus from the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar.
(s. 1-16)
Abelisaurid theropods are common members of Cretaceous Gondwanan faunas and are characterized by a bizarre, highly reduced forelimb.
Unfortunately, forelimb elements are rarely preserved and thus the basic structure of the abelisaurid forelimb remains poorly understood.
Until recently, the Upper Cretaceous Maevarano Formation of northwestern Madagascar has produced numerous exceptional specimens of
the abelisaurid theropod Majungasaurus crenatissimus but comparatively little forelimb material. A recently discovered articulated skeleton
of Majungasaurus preserves a virtually complete pectoral girdle and forelimb, which, along with additional isolated forelimb elements, affords important new insights into the structure of these elements. New specimens of the scapulocoracoid and humerus allow more detailed description of their morphology, and antebrachial and manual elements
are described for the first time. The radius and ulna are approximately one-quarter the length of the humerus and both have expanded proximal and distal articular surfaces relative to their narrow diaphyses. The manus consists of four digits, each composed of a short metacarpal and one (digits I and IV) or two (digits II and III) phalanges. No ossified carpals are present. The proportions of
the brachium and antebrachium are stout, more similar to the condition in Carnotaurus than in Aucasaurus. We reinterpret manual digit
identities in Aucasaurus and Carnotaurus based on new information provided by the manus of Majungasaurus. Overall, the morphology of the
forelimb in Majungasaurus reveals that abelisaurids share an extremely reduced, unique morphology that is dissimilar to the more typical theropod condition seen in other ceratosaurs.

WATER VAPOR CONDUCTANCE OF THE LOWER CRETACEOUS DINOSAURIAN EGGS FROM SANAGASTA, LA RIOJA, ARGENTINA: PALEOBIOLOGICAL AND PALEOECOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS FOR SOUTH AMERICAN FAVEOLOOLITHID AND MEGALOOLITHID EGGS
GERALD GRELLET-TINNER, LUCAS ERNESTO FIORELLI, and RODRIGO BRINCALEPE SALVADOR

The water vapor conductance (GH2O) of the neosauropod eggs from the Lower Cretaceous Sanagasta nesting site in La Rioja Province, Argentina, was examined and compared with other Cretaceous Argentinean oological material. The 2900 mgH2O/day·Torr GH2O of the Sanagasta eggshells confirms an extremely moist nesting environment and supports field observations of dug-out nests in a geothermal setting. The observed thinning of the outer eggshell surface during incubation increases gas conductance and concomitantly decreases eggshell mechanical resistance during the late ontogenetic stages, thus facilitating embryonic development and hatching. The Sanagasta and Entre Ríos Province faveoloolithid eggs display the highest and comparable GH2O values and share several morphological and diagenetic characters, indicating comparable nesting strategy in geothermal settings. However, the faveoloolithid Yaminué and La Pampa Province specimens cluster together with lower GH2O values closer to the megaloolithid eggs. The GH2O of the megaloolithid egg Megaloolithus patagonicus was reconsidered and new results are now congruent with other reported megaloolithid GH2O values. Additionally, we hypothesize that Y-shaped pore canals of M. patagonicus, which upper sections reach only the top third or half eggshell thickness and, a wider section in the middle would not compromise the overall egg mechanical resistance like vertical pores connecting directly the outer to the inner eggshell surfaces. Such pore spatial arrangement and geometry would enhance, as the eggshell thins during incubation, a greater GH2O, GO2 and GCO2 and facilitate embryonic development in high moisture nesting contents. Overall, data suggests that neosauropod nesting and brooding behaviors were dependent on elevated moisture nesting environments.

    New evidence on the colour and nature of the isolated Archaeopteryx feather.
    Nature Communications 3 (637)

    http://www.nature.com/ncomms/journal/v3 ... s1642.html

    Archaeopteryx has been regarded as an icon of evolution ever since its
    discovery from the Late Jurassic limestone deposits of Solnhofen,
    Germany in 1861. Here we report the first evidence of colour from
    Archaeopteryx based on fossilized colour-imparting melanosomes
    discovered in this isolated feather specimen. Using a phylogenetically
    diverse database of extant bird feathers, statistical analysis of
    melanosome morphology predicts that the original colour of this
    Archaeopteryx feather was black, with 95% probability. Furthermore,
    reexamination of the feather's morphology leads us to interpret it as
    an upper major primary covert, contrary to previous interpretations.
    Additional findings reveal that the specimen is preserved as an
    organosulphur residue, and that barbule microstructure identical to
    that of modern bird feathers had evolved as early as the Jurassic. As
    in extant birds, the extensive melanization would have provided
    structural advantages to the Archaeopteryx wing feather during this
    early evolutionary stage of dinosaur flight.

    Theropod dinosaur footprints at the Costalomo tracksite (Pinilla de
    los Moros Formation, Upper Hauterivian–Lower Barremian, western
    Cameros Basin, Salas de los Infantes, Burgos Province, Spain) show
    unusual preservation of a previously undescribed nature. The
    footprints occur as casts (positive epireliefs) at the top of a
    sandstone bed and preserve exceptional details of the top of the digit
    and claw morphology, and of digital interactions with the sediment
    during penetration and extraction from the sediment. Footprint
    formation and preservation occurred in the following stages: (1) The
    dinosaur stepped on a thin (4–8 cm thick) mud layer, its foot sinking
    to contact an underlying sand layer (channel fill); (2) voids left in
    the cohesive mud after foot withdrawal were later filled with sand;
    (3) subsequent deposition, burial and Alpine compression indurated the
    muds and the sands of both the footprint casts and the underlying
    channel sand layer; and (4) modern erosion exposed the footprint
    casts, by removing the mud above the sandstone.

    Dinosaurs and other terrestrial vertebrates are poorly documented in
    the Mesozoic of the Canadian polar region. Here, we provide a complete
    review of the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) vertebrate fauna of the
    Bonnet Plume Formation in the northeastern Yukon Territory, Canada,
    which includes the description of the first newly collected dinosaur
    bones from this unit in almost half a century. Previously reported
    fragmentary dinosaur remains collected in the early 1960’s pertain to
    an indeterminate hadrosaurid. New material includes a poorly preserved
    forelimb bone and a pedal phalanx. These new remains pertain to at
    least one species of non-hadrosaurid ornithischian dinosaur, and the
    humerus is tentatively referred to a small-bodied basal ornithopod.
    The new vertebrate fossils from the Bonnet Plume Formation provide
    further evidence of vertebrates from this unit. However, directed
    field surveys in 2008 and 2009 suggest that vertebrate fossils are not
    abundant. A review of the known localities of terrestrial Mesozoic
    vertebrates from the Canadian Arctic indicate that it had a relatively
    diverse community of terrestrial vertebrates, including dinosaurs,
    during the Late Cretaceous, but emphasizes our limited knowledge of
    the Mesozoic Arctic and considerable potential for future exploration
    and discovery.

    Abstract
    Isolated dermal armour elements of an ankylosaur from the lower Aptian
    Arcillas de Morella Formation at Morella (Castellón, Spain) are
    described herein. These elements are presacral and caudal spines,
    fragments of sacropelvic shield, keeled scutes and keeled ossicles.
    The possession of ungrooved presacral spines and a sa-cropelvic shield
    composed of irregularly arranged bosses and small tubercles are some
    of the features shared with Polacanthus. Thus we tentatively refer
    these elements to Polacanthus sp. This assemblage of Polacanthus
    dermal armour elements is currently the most important outside
    England. Furthermore, the new evidence of this ankylosaur in the
    Iberian record corroborates the great similarity between the

Bell PR (2012) Standardized Terminology and Potential Taxonomic Utility for Hadrosaurid Skin Impressions: A Case Study for Saurolophus from Canada and Mongolia. PLoS ONE 7(2): e31295. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0031295

The characterization of palaeospecies typically relies on hard-tissue anatomy, such as bones or teeth that is more readily fossilized than soft parts. Among dinosaurs, skin impressions are commonly associated with partial and complete hadrosaurid skeletons, and consist of non-imbricating tubercles or scales. Skin impressions from various parts of the body of two species of the hadrosaurine Saurolophus (S. angustirostris from Mongolia and S. osborni from Canada) are described from multiple specimens. These species, recently validated on osteological grounds, can be differentiated based solely on soft-tissue anatomy, namely scale shape and pattern. This study demonstrates for the first time the applicability of soft-tissue (i.e., scale impressions) as a means to differentiate species within the Dinosauria. Differences are most spectacular in the tail, where S. angustirostris is differentiated by the presence of vertical bands of morphologically distinct scales, a grid-like arrangement of circular feature-scales, and tabular scales along the dorsal midline. Preliminary results indicate scale architecture remained consistent throughout ontogeny in S. angustirostris. These results support previous assertions that hadrosaurid scale architecture has a positive phylogenetic signal.

Super :) coraz bardziej dinozaurologia wychodzi poza kości. Trzeba uzupełnić opis zaurolofa.

Już od jakiegoś czasu trzeba. Dino zajął go już do poprawy. "coraz" razem. MZ

Ventilatory mechanics from maniraptoran theropods to extant birds
Journal of Evolutionary Biology
P. G. Tickle, M. A. Norell and J. R. Codd
Article first published online : 2 Feb 2012
DOI: 10.1111/j.1420-9101.2012.02465.x
Shared behavioural, morphological and physiological characteristics are
indicative of the evolution of extant birds from nonavian maniraptoran
dinosaurs. One such shared character is the presence of uncinate processes and
respiratory structures in extant birds. Recent research has suggested a
respiratory role for these processes found in oviraptorid and dromaeosaurid
dinosaurs. By measuring the geometry of fossil rib cage morphology, we
demonstrate that the mechanical advantage, conferred by uncinate processes,
for movements of the ribs in the oviraptorid theropod dinosaur, Citipati
osmolskae, basal avialan species Zhongjianornis yangi, Confuciusornis sanctus and
the more derived ornithurine Yixianornis grabaui, is of the same magnitude as
found in extant birds. These skeletal characteristics provide further evidence of
a flow-through respiratory system in nonavian theropod dinosaurs and basal
avialans, and indicate that uncinate processes are a key adaptation facilitating
the ventilation of a lung air sac system that diverged earlier than extant birds.

    The Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota in China has produced numerous well
    preserved fossils of feathered theropods and early birds. Recent
    discoveries of feathered dinosaurs, as well as transitional pterosaurs
    and a sexually mature individual of Darwinopterus preserved together
    with an egg from the Daohugou Biota of an earlier age than the Jehol
    Biota, in northeastern China, have greatly enriched our knowledge of
    the transition from dinosaurs to birds and primitive to derived
    pterosaurs. The age estimate of fossils or host strata, however, has
    proven to be contentious and varies widely from the Middle Jurassic to
    the Early Cretaceous. Here, we report a SHRIMP U-Pb zircon date
    unambiguously associated with the fossil horizons, and thus, for the
    first time, provide an age calibration for the earliest appearance of
    feathered dinosaurs and transitional pterosaurs. Date results indicate
    that the feathered dinosaurs of China were present more than 161 Ma
    ago, unquestionably older than Archaeopteryx in Germany, and are the
    earliest known feathered dinosaurs in the world. Furthermore, feathers
    appeared in ornithischians before 159 Ma rather than late in the Early
    Cretaceous. The known transitional pterosaurs first emerged before 161
    Ma. The Daohugou Biota, containing mammals, primitive pterosaurs,
    insects and plants, in addition to the feathered dinosaurs, was living
    in Inner Mongolia ,western Liaoning and northern Hebei in northeastern
    China during the Middle Jurassic.

    Standardized Terminology and Potential Taxonomic Utility for
    Hadrosaurid Skin Impressions: A Case Study for Saurolophus from Canada
    and Mongolia.

    The characterization of palaeospecies typically relies on hard-tissue
    anatomy, such as bones or teeth that is more readily fossilized than
    soft parts. Among dinosaurs, skin impressions are commonly associated
    with partial and complete hadrosaurid skeletons, and consist of
    non-imbricating tubercles or scales. Skin impressions from various
    parts of the body of two species of the hadrosaurine Saurolophus (S.
    angustirostris from Mongolia and S. osborni from Canada) are described
    from multiple specimens. These species, recently validated on
    osteological grounds, can be differentiated based solely on
    soft-tissue anatomy, namely scale shape and pattern. This study
    demonstrates for the first time the applicability of soft-tissue
    (i.e., scale impressions) as a means to differentiate species within
    the Dinosauria. Differences are most spectacular in the tail, where S.
    angustirostris is differentiated by the presence of vertical bands of
    morphologically distinct scales, a grid-like arrangement of circular
    feature-scales, and tabular scales along the dorsal midline.
    Preliminary results indicate scale architecture remained consistent
    throughout ontogeny in S. angustirostris. These results support
    previous assertions that hadrosaurid scale architecture has a positive
    phylogenetic signal. As such, future taxonomic descriptions should
    include, where possible, the standardized description of skin
    impressions including the position and orientation of these
    impressions on the body.

    Evolutionary transformations are recorded by fossils with transitional
    morphologies, and are key to understanding the history of life.
    Reconstructing these transformations requires interpreting functional
    attributes of extinct forms by exploring how similar features function
    in extant organisms. However, extinct–extant comparisons are often
    difficult, because extant adult forms frequently differ substantially
    from fossil material. Here, we illustrate how postnatal developmental
    transitions in extant birds can provide rich and novel insights into
    evolutionary transformations in theropod dinosaurs. Although juveniles
    have not been a focus of extinct–extant comparisons, developing
    juveniles in many groups transition through intermediate
    morphological, functional and behavioral stages that anatomically and
    conceptually parallel evolutionary transformations. Exploring
    developmental transitions may thus disclose observable, ecologically
    relevant answers to long puzzling evolutionary questions.
