Tragantegia, Shanxia/Tianzhenosaurus questions
Speaking of goofy dinosaur names...I had a couple of questions concerning these
"goofy named"ankylosaurus (which by the way are interesting names, Tsaagan is a
good name for a raptor, I think).
What is the current accepted name for Shanxia/Tianzhenosaurus? Because it is
said they might be the same (Could even be Saichania), but I was wondering
which one was now the accepted name. What does "Shanxia" mean? Also, I haven't
been able to find pictures of neither Shanxia or Tsagantegia, just some vague
descrptions, and I would like to do a reconstruction of both of these some day,
but I haven't seen any material, any pictures of the fossils, nothing
appearing. So I was wondering if any of you had pictures of both of these
dinosaurs.
Also, have any shamosaurine post cranial elements been found? because as I
hear, all of the shamosaurines are based on skulls, like Gobisaurus,
Shamosaurus, Tsagantegia and such, so in other words, if I were to reconstruct
one of these shamosaurines, which ankylosaur should I guide myself in respect
to armor, scute patterns, spikes and such?
thanks again
Luis
