God, I hope that no one discovers any new dinosaurs in Wales....
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochensis?
thank you, wiki.
_The 58-character name
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is the famous name
of a town on Anglesey, an island of Wales. This place's name is actually 51
letters long, as certain character groups in Welsh are considered as one
letter, for instance ll, ng and ch. It is generally agreed, however, that this
invented name, adopted in the mid-19th century, was contrived solely to be the
longest name of any town in Britain. The official name of the place is
Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, commonly abbreviated to Llanfairpwll or the somewhat
jocular Llanfair PG._

According to Ramírez-Velasco et al., _Huehuecanauhtlus_ should be pronounced
“UEUE-CANA-UHh-TLUS”. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how one would pronounce
“UEUE-CANA-UHh-TLUS” either.

In lieu of a pronunciation guide, I think I'll call this fellow 'Huey' for
short. :-)

Huehuecanauhtlus tiquichensis, a new hadrosauroid dinosaur (Ornithischia:
Ornithopoda) from the
Santonian (Late Cretaceous) of Michoacán, Mexico. Canadian Journal of Earth
Sciences 49(2):
379-395.

Huehuecanauhtlus tiquichensis gen. et sp. nov. is the southernmost diagnostic
basal hadrosauroid
in the Americas. The holotype and referred material of this taxon came from
Santonian strata in
the Michoacán State, southwestern Mexico. Huehuecanauhtlus tiquichensis is
diagnosed on the
basis
of a combination of dental, axial, and appendicular characters, including the
following: at least
two teeth exposed on the occlusal plane of the dentary and maxilla; seven
sacral vertebrae; tall
neural spines of caudal vertebrae; supraacetabular process long; and short and
trapezoidal (in
lateral view) postacetabular process. It differs from other hadrosauroids in
having an ilium with
extreme ventral deflection of the preacetabular process. Maximum
parsimony cladistic analysis placed H. tiquichensis as a closely related
outgroup to
Hadrosauridae. The occurrence of H. tiquichensis in the Santonian of North
America may be
explained as a dispersal event from Asia to North America that occurred no
later than the Albian
or, alternatively, as a vicariant event of a most recent common ancestor
widespread in both
landmasses.
