Renesto S; Dalla Vecchia F M. Rivista Italianadi Paleontologia e stratigrafia, 2007, 113(2):191-201A nearly complete but poorly preserved amniotefrom the Middle-Upper Norian of Friuli,previously attributed to a new species of the protorosaurgenus Langobardisaurus (L. rossii), isre-described. Study reveals that the specimendoes not exhibit any protorosaurian characters,instead all available evidence supports its attributionto the Lepidosauromorpha. Some skullcharacters might support sphenodontian affinities,but preservation is too jpoor to allow a firmassignment to this group.2008040446意 大 利 撒 丁 晚 更 新 世 San Giovanni di Sinis地 区 新 的 脊 椎 动 物 化 石 : 地 中 海 中 部 最 晚 的 爬行 动 物 Mauremys = New fossil vertebrate remainsfrom San Giovanni di Sinis (Late Pleistocene,Sardinia): The last Mauremys (Reptilia,Testudines) in the central Mediterranean. ( 英 文 ).Chesi F; Delfino M; Abbazzi L; Carboni S;Lecca L; Rook L. Rivista Italiana di Paleontologiae stratigrafia, 2007, 113(2): 287-297The fossils, aothough scarce and fragmentary,document the occurrence of a terrapin (Mauremyssp.) and the endemic Sardinian deer(Praemegaceros cazioti). Significant is the occurrenceof the terrapin because it is the youngestrepresentative of the genus Mauremys in thecentral Mediterranean area where it is extinct atpresent. The Late Pleistocene extinction ofMauremys in Italy follows the same pattern ofother Mediterranean reptiles, in being in somecases delayed on the islands. A comparison ofthe modern range of Mauremys and that of thepond turtle, Emys, as well as of their past rangesas evidenced by the fossil record, might suggestthat some sort of thermophily characterized theformer taxon and is responsible for its past andpresent distribution.2008040447亚 洲 白 垩 纪 一 种 新 的 具 最 深 体 腔 的 巨 型 蜥 脚类 恐 龙 = A New Gigantic Sauropod Dinosaurwith the Deepest Known Body Cavity from theCretaceous of Asia.

Acta Geologica Sinica, 2007,81(2): 167-176A new species of sauropod dinosaur Huanghetitanruyangensis is erected based on the followingcharacters: deepest body cavity with adorsal rib reaching at least 2.93 m long, anteriorcaudal vertebrae with mushroom-shaped neuralspines. Based on this new specimen of Huanghetitanfound in the early Late CretaceousMangchuan Formation of Ruyang, Henan Province,the family Huanghetitanidae fam. nov. isproposed as a new rank to include only the genusHuanghetitan You et al. 2006.

It representsthe first systematically described materialof this feathered compsognathid outside the Sihetunarea in Beipiao. This specimen showssome diagnostic features of Sinosauropteryxprima, such as the very short forelimb in relationto hindlimb with the length ratio of humerus plusradius to femur plus tibia just around 30%, andth...2008040449浙 江 丽 水 发 现 晚 白 垩 世 的 nodosaurid 恐 龙 新种 = New Nodosaurid Dinosaur from the LateCretaceous of Lishui, Zhejiang Province, China.( 英 文 ).

Acta Geologica Sinica, 2007, 81(3):344-350A new genus and species of nodosaurid dinosaur:Zhejiangosaurus lishuiensis gen. et sp. nov.is erected herein. It is characterized by the sacrumconsisting of at least three true sacral vertebrae,5 caudal dorsal vertebrae fused to formthe presacral rod, wide divergence of long slenderpreacetabular process of the ilium from themiddle line of the body, and the fourth trochanterlocated at the femoral mid-length.2008040450新 疆 上 侏 罗 统 石 树 沟 组 的 第 一 只 剑 龙 ( 鸟 臀目 恐 龙 ) = The First Stegosaur (Dinosauria,Ornithischia) from the Upper Jurassic ShishugouFormation of Xinjiang, China.

ActaGeologica Sinica, 2007, 81(3): 351-356A new stegosaur species, Jiangjunosaurusjunggarensis, gen. et sp. nov., is erected basedon a specimen collected from the Upper Jurassicupper section of the Shishugou Formation in theJunggar Basin, Xinjiang, China. It represents thefirst stegosaur from the Jurassic of Xinjiang andincreases the diversity of the dinosaur fauna inthe Shishugou Formation.
