Chinle dinosauromorphs


The Chinleana blog posted the abstract for a paper in the June issue of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology describing a new dinosauromorph in the Late Triassic in Arizona and Texas. The journal is not yet available online.

The figure at right is from a recent paper in Science by the same lead authors on their initial findings.

There is enough anatomical jargon in the abstract to choke the "ventral emargination on the anterolateral side of the femoral head."
