Title: | 'Kazaklambia convincens' comb. nov., a primitive juvenile lambeosaurine from the Santonian of Kazakhstan | Contributor(s): | Bell, Phil (author) ; Brink, Kirstin S (author) | Publication Date: | 2013 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.cretres.2013.05.003 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/14711 | Abstract: | The holotype of 'Procheneosaurus convincens', a juvenile lambeosaurine, is the most complete hadrosaurid known from Kazakhstan. North American species of 'Procheneosaurus' are considered juveniles of 'Corythosaurus', 'Hypacrosaurus', and 'Lambeosaurus', rendering the generic name unusable. A replacement name, 'Kazaklambia convincens' comb. nov., is herein proposed as this specimen is morphologically distinct from other Eurasian taxa and known juvenile lambeosaurines at a similar ontogenetic stage in having a prefrontal process of the postorbital with a dorsal thickening forming a dome lateral to the frontal dome, doming of the nasal anterodorsal to the orbit, and a frontal length/width ratio <1. The juvenile status of 'Kazaklambia' makes phylogenetic placement difficult; however, morphometric and morphological information (particularly in relation to the hollow cranial crest and the length of the frontal) suggest a close affiliation with the basal lambeosaurines 'Amurosaurus' and 'Tsintaosaurus', and support the hypothesis for an Asian origin for Lambeosaurinae. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Cretaceous Research, v.45, p. 265-274 | Publisher: | Academic Press | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1095-998X 0195-6671 |
