Dinosaur Genera List corrections #129
This note arrived from Jean Le Loeuff in France:
"A new dinosaur genus was published in the last issue of Oryctos (December
1999):
"Cedarosaurus weiskopfae Tidwell, Carpenter and Brooks
"Precise reference is :
Virginia Tidwell, Kenneth Carpenter & William Brooks, 1999. "New sauropod
from the Lower Cretaceous of Utah, USA," Oryctos 2: 21-37.
"The genus is named from the Cedar Mountain Formation. Species is dedicated
to the late Carol Weiskopf.
"Cedarosaurus is known from a partial skeleton; it is referred to the family
Brachiosauridae."
Accordingly, we add genus #874 to the Dinosaur Genera List, the first new
entry in the year 2000:
Cedarosaurus Tidwell, Carpenter & Brooks, 1999
We also add the following entry to the list of North American dinosaur
species:
Cedarosaurus Tidwell, Carpenter & Brooks, 1999
C. weiskopfae Tidwell, Carpenter & Brooks, 1999?
Odd to be notified of a North American dinosaur by a European paleontologist!
