  • 00:0600:06, 26 July 2024 diff hist +16 m CeratosaurusAdded predominantly to modify the alluvial sedimentary rocks. This is because while it is technically true that the Morrison formation contains shallow marine rocks, these form the lowest unit (Windy Hill Member) of the formation, and do not pertain to the rocks in which Ceratosaurus remains are recovered.

  • 05:1105:11, 3 May 2024 diff hist −93 m OuranosaurusDeleted a sentance stating that Ouranosaurus was known from the Kem Kem beds and Bahariya formations of Morocco and Egypt respectively. I can find no reference to any specimens referred to Ouranosaurus outside of the Elrhaz formation. If such references can be provided, the sentence should be added back. Tag: Visual edit

  • 00:1600:16, 26 April 2024 diff hist +554 m OuranosaurusI have added clarification to the statemenet that Lurdusaurus and Nigersaurus were the most abundant herbivores in the Elrhaz formation. This claim is made in Sereno et al. 2007, however they cite Taquet and Russel, 1999 as the source of this informaiton. Reading Taquet and Russel, 1999, I find that this is not supported, as they claim Ouranosaurus is the most abundant element of the site. Tag: Visual edit

  • 23:5523:55, 25 April 2024 diff hist +311 m OuranosaurusI exanded on the comparative section of Ouranosaurus's vertebrae to other sail backed animals. Noting its similairty not only to Spinosaurus, but to modern crested chamaeleons and the temnospondyl Platyhystrix. I also clarified the term "sail-backs" to directly refer to sail-backed synapsids to provide clarity. Tag: Visual edit

  • 20:1020:10, 3 March 2022 diff hist +454 m IguanomorphaAdded a citation (Gauthier et al., 2012) for Iguanians being the sister to the rest of squamata under morphology. Also clarified that there are ~11,000 species (changed from 13,000) of squamates but that only ~2,000 of them are iguanians. Tag: Visual edit
