Right here is her paper on dimetrodon, and a hyperlink to “The Full Dinosaur” that we briefly mentioned together with her.

The dinosaur of the day Proceratosaurus
- Proceratosaurus
- Title is seen on an embryo cooler in Jurassic Park
- Theropod that lived within the Jurassic in what’s now England
- Present in 1910 in Minchinhampton throughout an excavation for a reservoir
- Discovered a partial, fragmentary cranium of a subadult
- Title means “Earlier than Ceratosaurus”
- Species title in honor of F. Lewis Bradley, who discovered the specimen
- Arthur Smith Woodward first described the cranium as Megalosaurus bradleyi (a part of the wastebasket taxon)
- On the time Woodward described the cranium, it was essentially the most full theropod cranium identified from Europe (that wasn’t crushed and arduous to check, like some Compsognathus and Archaeopteryx skulls)
- Woodward thought it was an ancestor of Ceratosaurus, after which Friedrich von Huene agreed within the Thirties with this interpretation (although he thought each had been Coelurosauria)
- Friedrich von Huene renamed Megalosaurus bradleyi to Proceratosaurus bradleyi due to its nasal horn, which was just like Ceratosaurus
- Huene initially used the title Proceratosaurus in an illustrated phylogenetic scheme in 1923
- Named in 1926 (formally) by Friedrich von Huene
- Kind species is Proceratosaurus bradleyi
- Regarded as an ancestor to Ceratosaurus, as a result of that they had an identical small crest of their snouts. However now it’s thought-about to be a coelurosaur, and one of many earliest Tyrannosauroidea (basal kin of tyrannosaurs)
- Scientists re-exmained this within the late Nineteen Eighties. Gregory Paul thought it was an in depth relative of Ornitholeses (due to the crest on the nostril, although it was later discovered Ornitholestes didn’t have a nasal crest). He additionally thought Proceratosaurus and Ornitholestes had been primitive allosauroids, and that the theropod Piveteausaurus was a junior synonym of Proceratosaurus. Nevertheless it was later discovered the 2 are disntinct genera
- Phylogenetic evaluation within the early 2000s discovered Proceratosaurus to be a coelurosaur
- In 2010 Oliver Rauhut and others revealed a re-evaluation of Proceratosaurus and concluded it was a coelurosaur, and a tyrannosauroid, and most intently associated to Guanlong, a tyrannosauroid from China
- Small, about 9.8 ft (3 m) lengthy
- Carnivorous, with serrated tooth
- Had small premaxillary tooth (entrance) and huge lateral tooth (facet)
- Had enlarged nostrils and a head crest
- Extremely pneumatic cranium (a number of holes)
- Like different theropods, in all probability was bipedal and had a protracted tail
- Kind specimen is within the London Museum of Pure Historical past
