title: New Early Cretaceous zalambdalestid stem placental mammal from Mongolia and evolution of Zalambdalestidae

description: <i>Prozalambdalestes cratodus</i> gen. et sp. nov. is based on a fragmentary dentary from the Lower Cretaceous (Aptian–Albian) Khovoor locality in Gobi Desert, Mongolia. This is the largest eutherian in the Khovoor mammal assemblage. It shows dental specializations of Zalambdalestidae such as procumbent, ever-growing gliriform first lower incisor with restricted enamel and reaching posteriorly p5, and mesiodistally compressed lower molar trigonids. The enamel is restricted to the ventrolabial and ventrolingual sides of the mesial half of the incisor and the enamel band is higher on the labial side. The new taxon retains five lower premolars, with p1 smaller than p2 and p3 smaller than adjacent premolars, and the Meckelian groove. It also differs from other zalambdalestids by position of mental foramina (under p3 and p5), p1–3 obliquely set in dentary, and lower molar talonids wider than trigonids. Phylogenetic analysis places <i>Prozalambdalestes</i> gen. nov. in a polytomy with Albian <i>Zhangolestes</i>, Turonian <i>Kulbeckia</i>, and the clade of Campanian zalambdalestids from Mongolia and Kazakhstan. CT data in <i>Zalambdalestes</i> and comparison with <i>Prozalambdalestes</i> gen. nov. show that the four lower premolars in <i>Zalambdalestes</i> are p2, p3 (variable present), p4, and p5. Consequently, the three lower premolars of <i>Barunlestes</i> and <i>Zofialestes</i> are p2, p4, and p5. The other diagnostic characters of Zalambdalestidae are reviewed.

title: Three new thylacinids (Marsupialia, Thylacinidae) from late Oligocene deposits of the Riversleigh World Heritage Area, northwestern Queensland

description: New thylacinid species of <i>Badjcinus</i>, <i>Nimbacinus</i>, and <i>Ngamalacinus</i> are described from upper Oligocene deposits of the Riversleigh World Heritage Area, northwestern Queensland. <i>Badjcinus timfaulkneri</i>, <i>Nimbacinus peterbridgei</i>, and <i>Ngamalacinus nigelmarveni</i> are among the oldest thylacinids yet known and indicate an earlier diversification of the family than previously understood. Maximum parsimony analysis supports a sister group relationship between <i>Ng. nigelmarveni</i> and <i>Ng. timmulvaneyi</i>, but the relationships of the two other new taxa are unresolved. Bayesian dated total evidence analysis using morphological and molecular data supports the generic assignment of <i>B. timfaulkneri</i> and <i>Ng. nigelmarveni</i> but not that of <i>Ni. peterbridgei</i>. Both phylogenies herein support a taxonomic reassignment of <i>Thylacinus macknessi</i> to the genus <i>Wabulacinus</i>, a conclusion also supported by the results of previous studies. Body mass estimates based on molar size regressions indicate body sizes ranging from 3.7 kg to 11.4 kg for the new thylacinid species. <i>Badjcinus timfaulkneri</i> exhibits an extremely deep jaw compared with other thylacinids, with mandibular bending strength analysis suggesting that it was a highly durophagous carnivore much like the modern dasyurid <i>Sarcophilus harrisii</i>. This analysis also suggests <i>Ni. peterbridgei</i> had a dentary more similar in shape to that of plesiomorphic thylacinid faunivores such as <i>Ni. dicksoni</i> and <i>T. cynocephalus</i> suggesting that it had a relatively more generalist faunivorous diet. The molars of <i>Ng. nigelmarveni</i> suggest they were better suited for longitudinal slicing than the molars of <i>B. timfaulkneri</i> and <i>Ni. peterbridgei</i>, indicating a more hypercarnivorous diet compared with that of those species. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:1BFB344B-8E76-45DC-81ED-18CB4E02D136

title: Crocodylian diversity during the early Eocene climatic optimum in the Golden Valley Formation of North Dakota, U.S.A.

description: Rich bone beds from the lower Eocene strata of the Golden Valley Formation of Stark County, North Dakota reveal a speciose sympatric crocodylian fauna. However, analyses demonstrate limited phylogenetic diversity among these co-occurring taxa, and of the four species known for the locality, three are alligatorids and one is a crocodyloid. Phylogenetic hypotheses recover <i>Chrysochampsa mylnarskii</i> as a late lived member of Brachychampsini—a stem-based clade including <i>Brachychampsa montana</i> and all alligatorids more closely related to it than to <i>Caiman crocodilus</i> or <i>Alligator mississippiensis</i>—and a new genus and species, <i>Ahdeskatanka russlanddeutsche</i> groups with species of <i>Allognathosuchus</i>. The crocodylians, partitioned by body size and plan, would have occupied an array of ecological niches and feeding strategies. Whereas the large-bodied alligatorid <i>Chrysochampsa mylnarskii</i> preserves a generalist morphology, <i>Ahdeskatanka russlanddeutsche</i> bears a short, broad snout and globular distal teeth. Contemporaneous with a peak in alligatoroid diversity during this interval, <i>Ahdeskatanka russlanddeutsche</i> is an exemplar of a radiation of small-bodied alligatorids with crushing dentition and preserves the ancestral alligatorid feeding strategy. Trophic dynamics of the locality diverge from modern environments and the abundant crocodylians may have filled the ecological niche of large mammalian carnivores conspicuously absent here. This alligatorid-rich crocodylian fauna evolved in swampy lowlands and meandering streams flanked by subtropical forests during one of the hottest sustained intervals in Earth history. The lush, highly productive ecosystems preserved in the Golden Valley Formation inform the evolutionary history of North American alligatorids and preserve significant biodiversity following the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum.

title: <i>Melanorosaurus readi</i> Haughton, 1924 (Dinosauria, Sauropodomorpha) from the Late Triassic of South Africa: osteology and designation of a lectotype

description: The sauropodiform sauropodomorph dinosaur <i>Melanorosaurus readi</i> Haughton, 1924, from the lower Elliot Formation (Norian) of South Africa, has had a checkered taxonomic history. This is due to the lack of published information on the original syntype material and the use of referred specimens as the primary source of anatomical information on the taxon. Here, we present a revised osteology of <i>Melanorosaurus</i> based solely on the syntype series and argue that the latter includes the remains of a single, associated individual that we designate the lectotype. The species can be diagnosed on the basis of features of the caudal vertebrae and ilium but we restrict the hypodigm to the lectotype pending detailed reassessment of all referred specimens. <i>Melanorosaurus</i> has been used as an external specifier in the definition of Sauropoda, but given the fragmentary nature of the material, its lack of clear ‘sauropod-like’ features, and its phylogenetic lability we suggest that this is no longer appropriate.

title: Sauropod tail clubs from the Kota Formation (Lower to Middle Jurassic) of India and their implications for early sauropod evolution

description: The Lower to Middle Jurassic Kota Formation of India has yielded abundant yet disarticulated skeletal remains attributed to the basally diverging sauropod <i>Kotasaurus yamanpalliensis</i>. The hypodigm of <i>Kotasaurus yamanpalliensis</i> includes four ellipsoidal elements that we identify as tail clubs, based on morphological similarities to tail clubs attributed to two basal sauropods from China: <i>Shunosaurus lii</i>, for which a fully articulated tail series was recovered, and <i>Omeisaurus tianfuensis</i>. Detailed comparison of the Chinese and Indian tail clubs suggests that they are composed of up to three individual elements that fuse in adulthood. Computed tomography of the Indian tail clubs reveals their internal structure, which shows incremental growth lines as well as other features whose origin and function remain unknown. The Indian and Chinese tail clubs share a similar temporal range (Early to Middle Jurassic) and similar morphologies, which raises the question of whether sauropod tail clubs evolved once, multiple times, or were gained and then lost within basally diverging members of Sauropoda. We describe four new characters to reflect the morphological constituents of sauropod tail clubs known to date.

title: <i>Lyra sherkhana</i> gen. et sp. nov., a new genus and species of giraffid from the Miocene of the Siwaliks (Pakistan)

description: The Siwalik Giraffidae fauna is diverse and includes species placed in Sivatheriinae, Giraffinae, and <i>Giraffokeryx</i>. We describe a new genus and species of giraffid, from the Middle Miocene of the Chinji Formation and Nagri Formation in Pakistan. <i>Lyra sherkana</i> gen. et sp. nov. et is unique among the Giraffidae due to the features of its cranial appendages. This taxon possesses a pair of ossicones that are positioned above and slightly medial to the orbits. The ossicones have a unique curvature resembling an ancient Greek harp or lyre, extending outwards and then curving forwards distally with a final backwards twist at the tip. The ossicones have a multi-layered surface. This new species also has large supraorbital sinuses, creating a large boss above the orbit. This last feature is only shared with the later and larger <i>Bramatherium</i>, which is the only giraffid known to also have an enlarged supraorbital boss. This suggests a possible relationship between these two taxa, both present in the Siwaliks, with <i>Bramatherium</i> appearing later than <i>Lyra</i>, during the Late Miocene. The presence of this new taxon increases the diversity not only of the Siwaliks fauna but of the Giraffidae family in general and helps shed light on the poorly known Middle Miocene giraffid faunas.

title: Modified laminar bone did not stop sauropods from achieving large body sizes

description: An almost complete dinosaur femur found in the Baynshire Formation (late Cenomanian to Santonian; Mongolia) in 1963 during the Polish–Mongolian Paleontological Expeditions is described here for the first time. The morphology of the femur and bone histology suggest that the specimen was a representative of the Titanosauriformes, the predominant sauropod clade during the Cretaceous. Bone tissue exclusive to this clade, modified laminar bone that indicates a reduced growth rate, is identified in the thin sections taken from the femur. Based on its bone histology, the already ca. 20-meter-long specimen appears to be a subadult. This specimen achieved a significantly larger size compared with other Titanosauriformes with modified lamellar bone at a similar growth stage.
