About: Magnuviator

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Magnuviator is a genus of extinct iguanomorph lizard from the Late Cretaceous of Montana, US. It contains one species, M. ovimonsensis, described in 2017 by DeMar et al. from two specimens that were discovered in the Egg Mountain nesting site. Magnuviator is closest related to the Asian Saichangurvel and Temujinia, which form the group Temujiniidae. Unlike other members of the Iguanomorpha, however, Magnuviator bears a distinct articulating notch on its tibia for the ankle bones (astragalus and calcaneum), which has traditionally been considered a characteristic of non-iguanomorph lizards. The morphology of its teeth suggests that its diet would have mainly consisted of wasps, like the modern phyrnosomatid iguanians Callisaurus and Urosaurus, although it also shows some adaptations to herb

dbo:abstract
  • Magnuviator es un género extinto de lagarto iguanomorfo, que vivió a fines del Cretácico, en lo que hoy es Montana, Estados Unidos. Solo contiene a una especie, M. ovimonsensis, descrita en 2017 por DeMar et al. a partir de dos especímenes que fueron descubiertos en el sitio fósil de . Magnuviator está relacionado de cerca con los géneros asiáticos y , los cuales forman el grupo Temujiniidae. Sin embargo, a diferencia de otros miembros de Iguanomorpha, Magnuviator tiene una distintiva muesca de articulación en su tibia para los huesos del tobillo (el astrágalo y el calcáneo), lo cual ha sido considerado tradicionalmente como una característica de los lagartos no iguanomorfos. La morfología de sus dientes sugieren que su dieta pudo haber consistido principalmente de avispas, como los iguanios frinosomátidos modernos y Urosaurus, aunque también muestra adaptaciones para la dieta herbívora.
