About: Morrisonodon

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

Morrisonodon brentbaatar is an extinct multituberculate mammal from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of North America. M. brentbaatar was described by Robert T. Bakker in 1998, who originally placed it in the genus Ctenacodon. The fossil remains consist of a jaw fragment containing two upper premolars and the sockets corresponding to two molars. The remains were found in the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in Wyoming. The species name honours the Wyoming paleontologist Brent Breithaupt, while "Baatar" is a Mongolian for "hero".

  • Morrisonodon brentbaatar is an extinct multituberculate mammal from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of North America. M. brentbaatar was described by Robert T. Bakker in 1998, who originally placed it in the genus Ctenacodon. The fossil remains consist of a jaw fragment containing two upper premolars and the sockets corresponding to two molars. The remains were found in the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in Wyoming. The species name honours the Wyoming paleontologist Brent Breithaupt, while "Baatar" is a Mongolian for "hero". Bakker assigned his specimens to Ctenacodon with hesitation, noting additional specimens may require a new classification. In a 2001 review of multituberculates, Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska and Jørn Hurum did not recognize Bakker's specimen as related to other Ctenacodon species or even belonging to the family Allodontidae, speculating the species might instead belong to the family Plagiaulacidae. In 2004, the species was placed in the newly established genus Morrisonodon. (en)
  • Morrisonodon Bakker, 1998 è un genere di mammiferi estinti della famiglia Plagiaulacidae i cui resti fossili provengono dagli strati databili al Giurassico superiore del Nord America. Questi piccoli erbivori vissero durante l'era dei dinosauri. I Morrisonodon sono membri dell'ordine dei multitubercolati e del sottordine 'plagiaulacida' (Ramo Plagiaulacidae). Sono quindi alcuni tra i più antichi rappresentanti dell'ordine. Il genere Morrisonodon è noto per una specie, M. brentbaatar (Bakker, 1998), che venne rinvenuto nella Formazione Morrison in Wyoming, USA. La sua Identificazione si basa su un dente superiore ben conservato e lungo un millimetro. Il nome della specie gli fu dato in onore del paleontologo americano Brent Breithaupt. Baatar, Mongolo per "eroe", è apparentemente un riferimento alla natura eroica della lotta per la sopravvivenza di questi piccoli mammiferi circondati dai dinosauri. (it)
