Quote from: VD231991 on May 31, 2022, 03:56:33 PMA few more updates to be made to this list:
- The specimen from Warwickshire that Stephan Pickering and Samuel Welles wanted to name "Liassaurus" is confirmed by Ezcurra et al. (2021) as being conspecific with Sarcosaurus woodi, an identification first made by Friedrich von Huene in his 1932 monograph on saurischians.
- Lively (2019) confirms that the informally named taxon "Clidastes moorevillensis" is not congeneric with Clidastes propython and designates Clidastes liodontus.
- The "new extremely well preserved specimen of Saurornitholestes" has been described in detail by Currie and Evans (2020).
- "Airakoraptor" has been officially named Kuru kulla by Napoli et al. (2021), who confirm that the bibliographic entry "Morphology Dromaeosaurian dinosaur-Airakoraptor from the upper cretaceous of Mongolia" listed in the bibliography for the paper describing Achillobator was a typographical mistake for the SVP 1992 abstract titled "New dromaeosaur material from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia" and that the holotype of Kuru is the specimen that Mark Norell and Altangerel Perle wanted to name "Airakoraptor".
- "Ichabodcraniosaurus" has been officially named Shri devi by Turner et al. (2021).
- According to Mickey Mortimer, "Madsenius" was most probably intended by Bob Bakker for the Allosaurus fragilis specimen DINO 2560, while the material informally dubbed "Wyomingraptor" by Bakker (1997) is probably a chimera of more than one taxon.
- The large non-pterodactyloid from the Late Triassic of Utah mentioned in the abstract book for the Flugsaurier 2015 meeting has been named Caelestiventus .
- The "short-snouted archosauriforme (possible crocodyliforme) from the late Triassic of Arizona" mentioned in the SVP 2016 meeting is now officially named Syntomiprosopus (Heckert et al. 2021).
- "Amphicoelicauda" is a nomen nudum for Huabeisaurus
- The caenagnathid specimen from the Horseshoe Canyon Formation reported at the SVP 2015 meeting is now named Apatoraptor.
- The "new macronarian sauropod from Portugal (SVP 2016, pg 190)" is now named Oceanotitan, while the "possible new basal allosauroid from Jurassic Portugal, known from a partial skeleton (SVP 2016, pg 181)" is now named Lusovenator.
- The informal dinosaur names mentioned in Maier (2003) are nomina nuda for what would be described as Dicraeosaurus, Giraffatitan, Janenschia, and Tornieria, as noted in a list of dinosaur genera.

Thank you so much for these updates. Many of these are left-overs from the original list that I just couldn't identify with enough specificity to remove, so I'm glad to know that some of them have finally been described. I've moved those that were legitimately undescribed rather than just being nomina nuda applied to previously described specimens to the published list. Please let me know if you find anything else on this list that needs to be removed.

Do you have a paper source for this? If so, I can add it to the list.

Quote from: Logo7 on May 28, 2019, 10:03:27 PMThis is a revival post of the thread "Undescribed Dinosaurs and Other Beasts" by ZoPteryx. I noticed that this post hadn't been getting updated for a while, so I made this new post to make those updates. This is a combination of the remaining unpublished studies from the original list and some other unpublished studies that I've found myself. If anyone finds any other unpublished studies that aren't on this list, please leave a comment on this form and I will add it to this list. If anything on this list gets published, please leave a comment on this form and I will remove it from this list. If me reviving this post is not okay for me to do, I will take this post down, but I just wanted to see it get updated more regularly. Anyway, on to the list.

Flugsaurier 2015 Meeting:
links no longer work
I found a few hitherto undescribed specimens and/or taxa that have since been named:
- The coelophysoid from Argentina discussed by Martin Ezcurra in an abstract at the XXX Jornadas Argentinas de Paleontologia de Vertebrados is now named Powellvenator podocitus (Ezcurra 2017)
- the entry ""Itemirus" giant dromaeosaur from Mongolia (Field Guide to Mesozoic Birds)" is a mistake and should be deleted because Itemirus was found in Uzbekistan, and the additional skeletal material of Itemirus mentioned by Sues and Averianov (2004) (alluded to in Field Guide to Mesozoic Birds) was described by Sues and Averianov (2014)
- "Rutellum implicatum" is not a binomial but instead a Latin term (meaning "implicit little shovel") by Lhuyd (1699 ) for the sauropod tooth noted by Delair and Sarjeant (2002) and thus the entry "a new possible cetiosaurid "Rutellum" from the Middle Jurassic of England (Mentioned in this paper: Delair, J.B., and Sarjeant, W.A.S. (2002). The earliest discoveries of dinosaurs: the records re-examined. Proceedings of the Geologists' Association 113:185–197.)" should be deleted
- Malkani (2021) officially describes the titanosaurs Gspsaurus, Maojandino, Nicksaurus, and Saraikimasoom as new genera and species
- The entry "a dicreaosaurid skull from the Lower Cretaceous of Argentina is a first for the group, unusually gracile design (11th Congreso de la Associacion Paleontologica Argentina, pg 46)" is now named Bajadasaurus (Gallina et al. 2019).
- The entry "giant mostly complete Patagonian titanosaur weighing over 50 tons (SVP 2016, pg 110)" has been named Patagotitan (Carballido et al. 2017).
- The entry ""Livingston sauropod" from the Late Jurassic of Montana (???)" actually refers to reports of Alamosaurus from the Evanston Formation of Wyoming and the Hell Creek Formation of Montana by Lucas & Hunt (1989) and Maxwell et al. (1967).
- The "nearly complete basal eusauropod from Cedar Mountain formation, Utah.  Mention of a new iguanodont and polacanthid (SVP 2016, pg 215)" has been named Mierasaurus by Royo-Torres et al. (2017)
- The entry "Protoichthyosaurus argued to be a valid genus (SVP 2016, pg 185)" should be deleted because Protoichthyosaurus is formally revalidated by Lomax et al. (2017).
- The entry ""Gadolosaurus" hadrosaur from the Bayan Shireh Formation of Baishan Tsav, Mongolia (Mentioned in this paper: Tsogtbaatar, K., D. Weishampel, D. C. Evans, and M. Watabe. (In review). A New Hadrosauroid (Dinosauria: Ornithopoda) from the Late Cretaceous Baynshire Formation of the Gobi Desert (Mongolia). PLOS ONE)" should be renamed "Unnamed hadrosaur from the Bayan Shireh Formation of Baishan Tsav, Mongolia (Averianov et al. 2022)" because "Gadolosaurus" is a Japanese translation of gadrosavr (Russian word for hadrosaur) and was never meant to be a new genus name, and the specimen informally dubbed "Gadolosaurus" has been assigned to Hadrosauroidea by Averianov et al. (2022) as a probable distinct taxon of basal hadrosauroid.

Thank you once again for the updates. I've shifted the actually undescribed specimens you mentioned over to the published list. However, I did not move the Malkani taxa, as they were not validly published due to being described without ZooBank registrations and in a journal that is known to be predatory. I'm also a little unsure about the "Livingston Sauropod," which I specifically based off of this specimen from the Museum of the Rockies. Is this now considered to be Alamosaurus too? Please let me know if you find anything else.

Quote from: VD231991 on July 21, 2022, 06:33:17 PMI found a few hitherto undescribed specimens and/or taxa that have since been named:
- The coelophysoid from Argentina discussed by Martin Ezcurra in an abstract at the XXX Jornadas Argentinas de Paleontologia de Vertebrados is now named Powellvenator podocitus (Ezcurra 2017)
- the entry ""Itemirus" giant dromaeosaur from Mongolia (Field Guide to Mesozoic Birds)" is a mistake and should be deleted because Itemirus was found in Uzbekistan, and the additional skeletal material of Itemirus mentioned by Sues and Averianov (2004) (alluded to in Field Guide to Mesozoic Birds) was described by Sues and Averianov (2014)
- "Rutellum implicatum" is not a binomial but instead a Latin term (meaning "implicit little shovel") by Lhuyd (1699 ) for the sauropod tooth noted by Delair and Sarjeant (2002) and thus the entry "a new possible cetiosaurid "Rutellum" from the Middle Jurassic of England (Mentioned in this paper: Delair, J.B., and Sarjeant, W.A.S. (2002). The earliest discoveries of dinosaurs: the records re-examined. Proceedings of the Geologists' Association 113:185–197.)" should be deleted
- Malkani (2021) officially describes the titanosaurs Gspsaurus, Maojandino, Nicksaurus, and Saraikimasoom as new genera and species
- The entry "a dicreaosaurid skull from the Lower Cretaceous of Argentina is a first for the group, unusually gracile design (11th Congreso de la Associacion Paleontologica Argentina, pg 46)" is now named Bajadasaurus (Gallina et al. 2019).
- The entry "giant mostly complete Patagonian titanosaur weighing over 50 tons (SVP 2016, pg 110)" has been named Patagotitan (Carballido et al. 2017).
- The entry ""Livingston sauropod" from the Late Jurassic of Montana (???)" actually refers to reports of Alamosaurus from the Evanston Formation of Wyoming and the Hell Creek Formation of Montana by Lucas & Hunt (1989) and Maxwell et al. (1967).
- The "nearly complete basal eusauropod from Cedar Mountain formation, Utah.  Mention of a new iguanodont and polacanthid (SVP 2016, pg 215)" has been named Mierasaurus by Royo-Torres et al. (2017)
- The entry "Protoichthyosaurus argued to be a valid genus (SVP 2016, pg 185)" should be deleted because Protoichthyosaurus is formally revalidated by Lomax et al. (2017).
- The entry ""Gadolosaurus" hadrosaur from the Bayan Shireh Formation of Baishan Tsav, Mongolia (Mentioned in this paper: Tsogtbaatar, K., D. Weishampel, D. C. Evans, and M. Watabe. (In review). A New Hadrosauroid (Dinosauria: Ornithopoda) from the Late Cretaceous Baynshire Formation of the Gobi Desert (Mongolia). PLOS ONE)" should be renamed "Unnamed hadrosaur from the Bayan Shireh Formation of Baishan Tsav, Mongolia (Averianov et al. 2022)" because "Gadolosaurus" is a Japanese translation of gadrosavr (Russian word for hadrosaur) and was never meant to be a new genus name, and the specimen informally dubbed "Gadolosaurus" has been assigned to Hadrosauroidea by Averianov et al. (2022) as a probable distinct taxon of basal hadrosauroid.

Thank you once again for the updates. I've shifted the actually undescribed specimens you mentioned over to the published list. However, I did not move the Malkani taxa, as they were not validly published due to being described without ZooBank registrations and in a journal that is known to be predatory. I'm also a little unsure about the "Livingston Sauropod," which I specifically based off of this specimen from the Museum of the Rockies. Is this now considered to be Alamosaurus too?

The specimen from Livingston shown in the photos you posted comes from the Morrison Formation, and thus has nothing to do with Alamosaurus. According to the Fossil Forum, the Livingston specimen is a probable new diplodocid species, but given the recent erection of Galeamopus for Diplodocus hayi and the fact that Amphicoelias, Supersaurus, and Smitanosaurus are known from one or less than five specimens, the Livingston sauropod might belong to either Supersaurus, MOR 692 or Smitanosaurus, given that cladistic analysis by John Whitlock has recovered Suuwassea (based on a sub-adult specimen), Smitanosaurus, and Kaatedocus as dicraeosaurids.

That said, the following entries may need to be removed from this list:

- "the genus Mosasaurus is over inflated, several species actually belong to Moanasaurus (SVP 2016, pg 232)" = an unpublished thesis by Hallie Street written in 2016 recognizes the species M. conodon, M. mokoroa, and M. prismaticus as constituting new genera and refers Mosasaurus hobetsuensis to Moanasaurus (Link: https://era.library.ualberta.ca/items/53bb82a0-7a66-4afb-a26d-b611b5f86136/view/f59a5ee9-9c57-4409-9988-5c8958216f80/Street_Hallie_P_201604_PhD.pdf); the cladistic analysis of Thalassotitan conducted by Longrich et al. (2022) also confirms that Mosasaurus as currently recognized is polyphyletic
- the entry "- one or more possible new species of possible titanosaurs from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation of China (Mentioned in this paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1871174X0700025X?via%3Dihub)" should be deleted because the somphospondylian titanosauriforms Dongbeititan and Liaoningotitan have described from the Yixian Formation of Liaoning (Wang et al. 2007; Zhou et al. 2018)
