• In 1960, French paleontologist Albert-FĂ©lix de Lapparent reported the discovery of more teeth and several caudal vertebrae from sites in Algeria belonging to Carcharodontosaurus, though some of these fossils might belong to other genera. (wikipedia.org)
  • Later authors have mentioned finds of teeth and isolated fossils from other provinces of Algeria. (wikipedia.org)
  • Ichthyosaur fossils are abundant in Lower Jurassic sediments with nine genera found in the UK. (peerj.com)
  • The evolution of longirostrine morphology and a bulbous anterior rosette of premaxillary teeth also occurs in the spinosaurid theropod dinosaurs, leading to suggestions that at least some members of this clade also had a diet comprising a notable proportion of fish or other small vertebrates. (fr.gd)
  • The skeleton of Carcharodontosaurus (IPHG 1922 X46) consisted of: a partial skull, including much of the braincase, teeth, three cervical and a caudal vertebra, incomplete pelvis, a manual ungual, femora, and the left fibula. (wikipedia.org)
  • In this paper, we describe the partial skeleton of a large ichthyosaur from the Lower Jurassic (lower Sinemurian) of Warwickshire, England, which was conserved and rearticulated to form the centrepiece of a new permanent gallery at the Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum in 2015. (peerj.com)
  • Studies of the bite force and tooth anatomy of carcharodontosaurids have found them to possess strong, but relatively weak bites compared to other theropod families. (wikipedia.org)
  • The name saharicus refers to the Sahara Desert where the teeth had been found. (wikipedia.org)
  • Here, we present a new sphenodontian species from the Early Jurassic of North America (Arizona, USA) represented by a nearly complete articulated skeleton and dozens of upper and lower jaws forming the most complete ontogenetic series in the sphenodontian fossil record. (nature.com)
  • A considerable portion of sphenodontian fossil diversity is represented only by fragmentary specimens of little systematic value, such as isolated jaws and teeth-e.g., refs. (nature.com)
  • Its jaws were lined with sharp, recurved, serrated teeth that bear striking resemblances to those of the great white shark, the inspiration for the name. (wikipedia.org)
  • The skeleton of Carcharodontosaurus (IPHG 1922 X46) consisted of: a partial skull, including much of the braincase, teeth, three cervical and a caudal vertebra, incomplete pelvis, a manual ungual, femora, and the left fibula. (wikipedia.org)
  • It is characterized by a distinct cassowary-like crest on the skull, no pleurocoels on the centra from the second through fourth cervical vertebrae, a neck twice as long as the dorsal vertebral column and slightly longer than the forelimb (including the manus). (researchgate.net)
  • The stratigraphic provenance of this specimen merits particular attention, because plesiosaurians of Pliensbachian age are rare compared to other stages of the Lower Jurassic. (bioone.org)
  • Complete plesiosaur skeletons are relatively abundant in the Lower Jurassic of England and Germany, but are exceptional in France. (bioone.org)
