Opis:
Two partial skeletons of allosaurid theropods belonging to an adult and a juvenile from the Upper Jurassic (Tithonian) Morrison Formation of McElmo Canyon in Montezuma County, southwestern Colorado, were discovered in 1953 by the late Joseph T. Gregory and David Techter. The adult specimen consists of several isolated cranial and postcranial skeletal elements that are exceptionally well-preserved and include the left premaxilla, maxilla, dentary, teeth, quadratojugal, two caudal vertebrae, pubic peduncle, ischium, proximal tibia, a nearly complete left foot, and several isolated teeth, whereas the juvenile specimen is represented by the distal portion of the right dentary and a fragmentary splenial. The specimens represent a new species of Allosaurus, here named Allosaurus lucasi, which differs from Allosaurus fragilis by having a relatively short premaxilla and robust quadratojugal with short jugal process and a short quadrate process of the quadratojugal that is at the same level as the rostral quadratojugal ramus. The presence of a new species of Allosaurus in the Tithonian of North America provides further evidence of the taxonomic and morphological diversity of the Allosauridae clade and their continuous evolutionary success, which extended to the Cretaceous.

Opis:
Mygatt-Moore Quarry in the Brushy Basin Member of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation is one of the more important large dinosaur quarries in the formation, yielding fossils of sauropod dinosaurs including Apatosaurus, Camarasaurus, and an indeterminate diplodocine (cf. Diplodocus or Barosaurus), the theropod dinosaurs Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus, and the ornithischians Othnielosaurus and Mymoorapelta. Fossil wood and carbonized plants are known from the deposit, and carbonized dinosaur skin has also been discovered. We report here on a new U/Pb radiometric age for the Mygatt-Moore Quarry, from a smectitic mudstone collected at the quarry horizon. We isolated zircons using an ultrasonic separation technique and standard heavy liquid and magnetic methods, analyzed single zircons using a chemical abrasion method (CA-TIMS). The age determined for this dinosaur quarry, 152.18 ±0.29 Ma, places the quarry at the boundary between the Kimmeridgian and Tithonian stages of the Late Jurassic Period. This age can now be used to place the quarry into stratigraphic position with respect to other dated horizons in the Morrison Formation and other rock units worldwide. We will also use this age along with other ages to create a radiometrically based stratigraphic framework for the Morrison Formation.

Opis:
In 1879, Othniel C. Marsh and Arthur Lakes collected in the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation Quarry 12 at Como Bluff, Wyoming, USA, several isolated axial and appendicular skeletal elements of small theropod dinosaurs. Since the discovery the specimens remained unnoticed for over a century. The skeletal remains of small theropods are rare at Como Bluff and throughout the Morrison Formation. Their bones are delicately constructed, so they are not as well-preserved as the bones of large-bodied theropods. The bones of small theropods described here were found mixed with isolated crocodile teeth and turtle shells. Comparison of the skeletal materials with other known theropods from the Morrison Formation reveals that some of the bones belong to a very small juvenile Allosaurus fragilis and Torvosaurus tanneri and also to a new ceratosaur taxon, here named Fosterovenator churei, whereas the other bones represent previously unidentified juvenile taxa of basal tetanuran and coelurid theropods. The discovery and description of these fossil materials is significant because they provide important information about the Upper Jurassic terrestrial fauna of Quarry 12, Como Bluff, Wyoming. The presence of previously unidentified theropod taxa in the Morrison Formation indicates that the diversity of basal tetanuran and coelurid theropods may have been much greater than previously expected. Although the fossil material here described is largely fragmentary, it is tenable that theropods of different clades co-existed in the same ecosystems at the same time and most likely competed for the same food sources.
