Opis:
Two roadside localities on the northern fringes of Moab, Grand County, Utah yield previously un-described Upper Triassic vertebrate tracks from the Chinle Group (Rock Point Formation). The first locality, designated the high way 191 site, yields dozens of small theropod dinosaur tracks (Grallator) preserved on a single, fallen slab. The tracks form a monospecific assemblage preserved as natural casts. The assemblage is representative of what has been referred to as Rhaetic assemblage II which is dominated by small Grallator tracks. In situ Grallator tracks are also described from a nearby locality, referred to as the Matrimony Spring site, where they are found in association with the ichnogenus Brachychirotherium. Many other sites with similar, often more-diverse, Late Triassic ichnofaunas are known from the region.

Opis:
The newly discovered White Mesa tracksite in the Burro Canyon Formation represents a snapshot of a diverse, Lower Cretaceous dinosaur fauna from south-eastern Utah. The tracks were found at a construction site where the sandstone had been bulldozed and broken up. All tracks were found as deep, well-preserved natural casts on the underside of the sandstone slabs. Individual theropod tracks are 19–57 cm in length; one peculiar track shows evidence of a possible pathological swelling in the middle of digit III and an apparently didactyl track is tentatively assigned to a dromaeosaurid. Individual sauropod tracks are found with pes lengths of 36–72 cm, and interestingly, three distinct shapes of manus tracks, ranging from wide banana shaped to rounded and hoof-like. Ornithopods are represented with individual tracks 18–37 cm in length; a sin gle track can possibly be attributed to the thyreophoran ichnogenus Deltapodus. Zircon U-Pb dating places the track-bearing layer in the Barremian, contemporary to the lower Yellow Cat Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation, which has a similar faunal composition based on both tracks and body fossils. This new track-fauna demonstrates the existence of a diverse dinosaurian assemblage in the lower part of the Burro Canyon Formation, which hitherto is not known to yield skeletalre mains.

Opis:
Stan Utah leży na środkowym zachodzie USA. Zajmuje on 219 887 km2 powierzchni, którą zamieszkuje 2,800 tys. mieszkańców (2009 r.). Gęstość zaludnienia jest stosunkowo niewielka i wynosi ponad 12os/km2. Wpływ na tę sytuację mają przede wszystkim stosunkowo niekorzystne warunki naturalne z których najważniejszy wpływ ma ukształtowanie terenu i warunki klimatyczne. Różnorodność krajobrazu będąca efektem ogromnego zróżnicowania form rzeźby, wpłynęła na fakt iż na terenie Utah powstało 5 parków narodowych (Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches i Canyonlands), utworzono pomniki narodowe oraz obszary o niższej randze ochrony. Każdy z tych obszarów przyciąga rzesze turystów z USA i z całego świata, gdyż znajdują się tu niepowtarzalne formy krajobrazu, jak np. w Arches NP znajduje się ponad 1700 naturalnych łuków skalnych. Obszary te mają ogromne znaczenie dla rozwoju turystyki (geoturystyki) w USA, a tym samym dla gospodarki. Rocznie parki narodowe w Utah odwiedza ok. 6 mln osób.
The state of Utah is located in west-central United States. The area of 219 887 km2 is populated by 2.8 million people (in 2009). Population density is relatively low: 12 persons per square km. The main reasons for low population density are unfavourable natural conditions. The most important are topography and climate. Utah’s landscape diversity is a consequence of a variety of terrain types. For that reason, there are 5 national parks (Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches and Canyonlands), national monuments, and other lower rank protected areas established in Utah. Each of these places, characterized by unique types of landscape brings millions of tourists per year from USA and all over the World. For example, Arches National Park has more than 1700 natural arches. All these protected areas are very important in development of tourism industry (geotourism), as well as in economy of USA. Utah’s national parks draw more than 6 million visitors annually.

Opis:
The Lower Jurassic Whitmore Point Member of the Moenave Formation in Arizona-Utah, USA, comprises fish- and coprolite-bearing shales, siltstones, sandstones, and minor limestones. These facies were deposited in ephemeral and perennial lakes subject to episodic desiccation and incursions of coarse clastics during floods. Meromictic conditions developed during perennial episodes, probably due to salinity stratification, which enhanced preservation of organic matter in gray to black shales. These lakes formed on the floodout of a north-northwest oriented (relative to modern geography) system of mainly ephemeral streams on a broad and open floodplain. The Whitmore Point Member both overlies and interfingers laterally with alluvial red-bed facies of the Dinosaur Canyon Member of the Moenave Formation. The vertical transition from alluvial to lacustrine sedimentation recorded by the Dinosaur Canyon and Whitmore Point members of the Moenave Formation most probably resulted from a eustatically-controlled rise in base level during the Early Jurassic (Hettangian). The Dinosaur Canyon Member also interfingers laterally with eolian dune deposits of the Wingate Sandstone, which was deposited by winds that reworked coastal plain sediments to the north of the study area. Thus, on this part of the Colorado Plateau, fluvial, lacustrine and eolian sedimentary facies were deposited contemporaneously in laterally adjacent paleoenvironments.

Opis:
Herein we describe the oldest well-sampled multituberculate assemblage from the Cretaceous of North America. The fauna is dated at 98.37 Ma and thus approximates the Albian-Cenomanian (Early-Late Cretaceous) boundary. The multituberculate fauna is diverse. Two of the multituberculates (Janumys erebos gen. et sp. n. and an unidentified taxon) are provisionally placed among 'Plagiaulacida'. Another taxon, Ameribaatar zofiae gen. et sp. n., is of uncertain subordinal affinities. The remaining multituberculates appear to represent the advanced suborder Cimolodonta and fall within the 'Paracimexomys group'. We rediagnose Paracimexomys on the basis of the type species, P. priscus, and refer to other species as cf. Paracimexomys (including cf. P. perplexus sp. n.). A revised diagnosis is also provided for Cenomanian Dakotamys. A previously-described species from the Cedar Mountain Formation is placed in Cedaromys gen. n. as C. bestia, together with C. pawus sp. n. Bryceomys is represented in the fauna by B. intermedius sp. n. Relationships of Paracimexomys-group to later taxa remain obscure. However, Bryceomys and Cedaromys share a number of features with Cimolodontidae. Given these resemblances, together with the fact that Cimolodontidae retain certain plesiomorphies (stout lower incisor, gigantoprismatic enamel) with respect to Ptilodontoidea (to which they are commonly referred), we suggest that Cimolodontidae may have arisen from a clade within the 'Paracimexomys group', independent of ptilodontoids.
W pracy opisano najstarszy dobrze opróbowany zespół zębów wieloguzkowców (Multituberculata) z kredy Ameryki Północnej. Fauna formacji Cedar Mountain jest datowana na 98,37 mln lat temu, a więc pochodzi mniej więcej z granicy albu i cenomanu (a więc przełomu wczesnej i późnej kredy). Fauna wieloguzkowców jest zróżnicowana. Dwa z nich (Janumys erebos gen. et sp. n. oraz nieoznaczony takson) tymczasowo zaliczono do ,,Plagiaulacida". Kolejny takson, Ameribaatar zofiae gen. et sp. n., ma niejasną przynależność na szczeblu podrzędu. Wydaje się, że pozostałe wieloguzkowce reprezentują, zaawansowany podrząd Cimolodonta i należałoby je umieścić w ,,grupie Paracimexomys". Diagnoza Paracimexomys została zrewidowana na podstawie gatunku typowego, P. priscus, toteż inne gatunki potraktowano jako cf. Paracimexomys (w tym cf. P. perplexus sp. n.). Zrewidowaną diagnozę uzyskał także cenomański Dakotamys. Opisany juz wcześniej z formacji Cedar Mountain gatunek umieszczony został w nowym rdozaju Cedaromys jako C. bestia, obok C. parvus sp. n. Bryceomys reprezentowany jest w opisywanej faunie przez B. intermedius sp. n. Niejasne pozostają pokrewieństwa między grupą Paracimexomys a późniejszymi taksonami. Bryceomys i Cedaromys mają jednak wiele cech wspólnych z rodziną Cimolodontidae. Ze względu na owe podobieństwa, a także na zachowanie przez Cimolodontidae pewnych plezjomorfii (masywny dolny siekacz, gigantopryzmatczne szkliwo) nieobecnych u Ptilodontoidea (do których się je zwykle zalicza), sugerujemy, ze Cimolodontidae mogły się wyodrębnić z kladu w obrębie ,,grupy Paracimexomys", niezależnie od ptilodontoidów.

Opis:
The Spathian (late Early Triassic) Virgin Formation of south−western Utah (USA) yields a comparatively diverse benthic fauna that flourished ~2 Ma after the end−Permian mass extinction. In this study, we present quantitative palaeoecological data, which are analysed in the context of depositional environments. This integrated approach helps to discriminate between effects of the end−Permian mass extinction event and local environmental factors on alpha diversity and ecological structure of the Virgin Fauna. Shallow subtidal environments yield the highest species richness and lowest dominance val− ues as recorded in two benthic associations, the Eumorphotis ericiusAssociation and the Protogusarella smithi Association, both ofwhich contain 20 benthic species (bivalves, gastropods, brachiopods, echinoderms, and porifers). Tidal inlet deposits yield a low diverse fauna (Piarorhynchella triassica Association) with a very high dominance of filter feeders adapted to high energy conditions.Another comparably low diverse fauna is recorded by the Bakevellia exporrecta Association, which occurs in deposits of the offshore transition zone,most likely reflecting unconsolidated substrates. A single sample contain− ing five bivalve species (Bakevellia costata Assemblage) is recorded from a marginal−marine setting. The Virgin fauna yields a bulk diversity of 30 benthic species (22 genera) of body fossils and 14 ichnogenera and, thus, represents the most di− verse marine bottom fauna known so far from the Early Triassic. Our results suggest that oceanographic conditions during the early Spathian enabled ecosystems to rediversify without major abiotic limitations. However, taxonomical differentia− tion between habitats was still low, indicating a time lag between increasing within−habitat diversity (alpha diversity) and the onset of taxonomical differentiation between habitats (beta diversity). We suggest that taxonomical habitat differentia− tion after mass extinction events starts only when within−habitat competition exceeds a certain threshold, which was not yet reached in the Spathian of the investigated area. This interpretation is an alternative to previous suggestions that the preva− lence of generalistic taxa in the aftermath of mass extinction events reflects protracted environmental stress. The onset of in− creasing beta diversity is a potential criterion for distinguishing two major recovery phases, the first ending with habitat satu− ration and the second ending with the completion of ecosystem differentiation.

Opis:
Measured sections of Jurassic San Rafael Group strata correlated by lithostratigraphy along an ~60 km transect between Bluff and the Abajo Mountains in southeastern Utah indicate that: (1) the Carmel Formation is continuous and disconformable on the Navajo Sandstone (J-2 unconformity); (2) the Entrada Sandstone (Slick Rock Member) is continuous and conformable on the Carmel; (3) the Summerville Formation is continuous and does not intertongue with the Entrada (its base is the J-2 unconformity); (4) the Bluff Sandstone grades northward into the upper Summerville south of the Abajo Mountains; (5) the Recapture Member of the Bluff is physically continuous with at least part of the Tidwell Member of the Summerville; and (5) the base of the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Fm. is a pervasive unconformity (J-5) with demonstrable local stratigraphic relief of up to 14 m. These observations counter previous claims of extensive Entrada-Summerville intertonguing in southeastern Utah and do not support recognition of depositional sequence boundaries in the Entrada and Summerville lithosomes. Though Entrada deposition may have been by a wet eolian system, its southeastern Utah outcrops are well to the south/ southeast of any marine and paralic facies with which the Entrada intertongues.

Opis:
Brontomerus mcintoshi is a new genus and species of sauropod dinosaur from the Hotel Mesa Quarry in Grand County, Utah, USA, in the upper part of the Ruby Ranch Member (Aptian–Albian) of the Lower Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation. It is known from at least two fragmentary specimens of different sizes. The type specimen is OMNH 66430, the left ilium of a juvenile individual; tentatively referred specimens include a crushed presacral centrum, a complete and well−preserved mid−to−posterior caudal vertebra, the partial centrum of a distal caudal vertebra, a complete pneumatic anterior dorsal rib from the right side, the nearly complete left scapula of a much larger, presumably adult, individual, and two partial sternal plates. Brontomerus is diagnosed by five autapomorphies of the type specimen: preacetabular lobe 55% of total ilium length, longer than in any other sauropod; preacetabular lobe directed anterolaterally at 30 to the sagittal, but straight in dorsal view and vertically oriented; postacetabular lobe reduced to near absence; ischiadic peduncle reduced to very low bulge; ilium proportionally taller than in any other sauropod, 52% as high as long. In a phylogenetic analysis, Brontomerus was recovered as a camarasauromorph in all most parsimonious trees, but with uncertain position within that clade. The large preacetabular lobe of the ilium anchored powerful protractor and abductor muscles, but precise interpretation is impossible without functionally related elements such as femora and proximal caudal vertebrae. Brontomerus is the eighth sauropod genus named from the Early Cretaceous of North America, and more remain to be described: North American sauropod diversity did not decline catastrophically at the end of the Jurassic as often assumed. The most striking differences between Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous sauropod faunas in North America is that the former are abundant and dominated by diplodocids, whereas the latter are comparatively scarce— though still diverse—and dominated by macronarians.
