“…In fact, the dentaries of Koutalisaurus kohlerorum and Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus are virtually indistinguishable ( Fig. 1), apart from the posterodorsal orientation of the coronoid process in IPS SRA 27, which appears to be an artifact of preparation (Prieto-Má rquez et al, 2006). This leaves Koutalisaurus kohlerorum lacking autapomorphies, and some authorities might therefore consider it a nomen dubium.…”

Pararhabdodon isonensis, from the upper Maastrichtian Tremp Formation of Spain (Casanovas-Cladellas et al, 1993;Casanovas et al, 1999a), has been considered a lambeosaurine based on the presence of a haemal sulcus on the ventral surface of the sacrum and a moderate distal expansion of the ischium (Casanovas et al, 1999a).…”

“…Head (2001) felt that the evidence for lambeosaurine affinities presented by Casanovas et al (1999a) was insufficient, and noted that the animal's relatively low tooth count might exclude it from the Hadrosauridae. Prieto-Má rquez et al (2006) presented a formal phylogenetic analysis in which Pararhabdodon isonensis was found to be the sister taxon to the Hadrosauridae, based on the presence of a maxilla with three or four foramina, only 35-40 maxillary alveolar positions, and strongly dorsally arched cervical postzygapophyses.…”

“…1A and B) from Les Llaus locality (Tremp Formation, northeastern Spain) was referred to Pararhabdodon isonensis by Casanovas et al (1999a). Prieto-Má rquez et al (2006) rejected this referral, because the site is separated from the Pararhabdodon isonensis locality, and the latter produced no dentary material.

a b s t r a c tWe present new anatomical information showing that Koutalisaurus kohlerorum, from the Maastrichtian of Lleida Province, northeastern Spain, is most probably the junior synonym of Pararhabdodon isonensis from the same region. Dentary and maxillary characters previously considered as autapomorphies of K. kohlerorum and P. isonensis, respectively, are shown to be synapomorphies uniting the latter with Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus from the Campanian of the Wangshi Group, Shandong Province, China.This study provided conclusive evidence of the presence of the Lambeosaurinae in Europe. Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus and Pararhabdodon isonensis were inferred to form a clade of basal lambeosaurines characterized by a maxilla with an elevated articular facet for the jugal (continuous with the ectopterygoid ridge) and an extremely medially projected symphyseal region of the dentary. This clade originated in Asia during the middle or late Campanian. Pararhabdodon isonensis or its ancestors migrated from Asia to the Iberian island of the European archipelago. Reconstruction of ancestral areas by Fitch parsimony attributes the European occurrence of P. isonensis to a single dispersal event from Asia no later than middle to late Campanian.

Hadrosaurid and ceratopsid dentaries display traits that suggest divergent functions toward broadly similar diets of fibrous plants. Computed tomographic scans of dentaries of a lambeosaurine and a centrosaurine (Centrosaurus aptertus) were used to compare feeding function of these animals using finite element analysis (FEA). In the hadrosaur, mediolateral expansion of the dentary and elongation of the coronoid process of the surangular were optimally developed to withstand torsion associated with transverse-isognathous jaw occlusion. FEA results strongly suggest longitudinal rotation of the hadrosaurid mandible. Mediolaterally compressed mandibles and FEA stress for the ceratopsid are in compliance with purely isognathous jaw adduction, although palinal retraction during the powerstroke cannot be ruled out. The ceratopsid dentary is further reinforced by a longitudinal ridge on the lateral surface of that element. Surface texture indicating Sharpey's fibers within the ceratopsid coronoid process suggests greater bite force than in lambeosaurines. These findings corroborate previous interpretations and suggest complementary or alternative kinematics to maxillary pleurokinesis in hadrosaurs. Anat Rec, 292:1338Rec, 292: -1351Rec, 292: , 2009.

Osteological Re‐Assessment and Taxonomic Revision of “Tanius laiyangensis” (Ornithischia: Hadrosauroidea) from the Upper Cretaceous of Shandong, China

Tanius is the earliest named ornithischian genus from China. Since 1929, three species of this genus, namely T. sinensis (the type species), “T. chingkankouensis” and “T. laiyangensis”, have been reported based on remains from the Wangshi Group of Shandong, China, and were previously recognized as hadrosaurines. Following the recent achievement of consensus on the phylogenetic placement of T. sinensis outside Hadrosauridae, the assignments of the “T. chingkankouensis” and “T. laiyangensis” material of hadrosaurid origin to the genus Tanius become problematic. Related taxonomic issues of “T. laiyangensis” therefore need re‐appraisals. Here, we provide an overall taxonomic revision of “T. laiyangensis” from the Jingangkou Formation of northeast Shandong, by means of approaches of comparative anatomy, phylogeny and geometric morphometrics. Our osteological comparisons confirm the hadrosaurine affinity of “T. laiyangensis”, given the presence of a suite of characters largely typical of Hadrosaurinae in the single specimen (i.e., a nearly complete sacrum and a partial right ilium), including a dorsoventrally narrow central plate of the ilium with the depth/length ratio <0.80. In the proposed phylogenetic framework, “T. laiyangensis” is inferred to be a member of Kritosaurini within Hadrosaurinae, as the sister taxon to Secernosaurus koerneri. The relative warp analysis on the lateral outline of the supraacetabular process also reveals a close resemblance of shape between the two species. Based on these different lines of evidence and considering no identification of any diagnostic characters from the specimen, we argue that the “T. laiyangensis” material comes from an indeterminate kritosaurin hadrosaurine in Asia.
