This 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 This is a combination of the remaining unpublished studies from the original list and some other unpublished studies that I've found myself. If anyone finds any other unpublished studies that aren't on this list, please leave a comment on this form and I will add it to this list.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.

ITdactyl

I enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoy movie previews (especially the pterosaur section)...

...but I have to say this... boy oh boy, that was one big wall of text.

Brontozaurus

So this is going to be weird and probably shouldn't be added to the list, but there's potentially an unpublished Japanese ceratopsian known as 'Mihunekisaurus'. The problem is there's only one source for it: the Japanese RPG series Fossil Fighters. It's a Pokemon type game with real dinosaur species as the Pokemon, and 'Mihunekisaurus' is featured as a Japanese dinosaur alongside Fukuiraptor, Futabasaurus, and an un-named titanosaur. Unlike the other three, I can't find anything published on 'Mihunekisaurus', not even a blog post. Considering the series as a whole is deeply nerdy (they have three separate ammonites you can get, for one) I wouldn't put it past the creators to have heard rumours of some tentative discovery and used those as a basis for 'Mihunekisaurus'. It's not even that outlandish of an idea for a large ceratopsian to have existed in Japan, now that we know about Sinoceratops.

Yeah, I noticed that. Maybe I should put more spaces between the sections so its not just one giant wall of text.

Vidusaurus

QuoteJehol/Yixian like formation from Late Cretaceous Australia

As an Australian I very much doubt the validity of this one, we have very little in the way of late Cretaceous sediment (other than the Winton Formation) and what little we do have is practically the opposite of the Yixian.

That was from the original list on the original post. I have no idea where it came from, nor, it seems, did ZoPteryx, as he had it marked with the ??? icon. Maybe it's just an undescribed and completely new fossil site?

Philoceratops

Quote from: Logo7 on May 28, 2019, 10:03:27 PM
This 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.

links no longer work

First of all, that is one HUGE wall of text! :O

Here are a few corrections, updates, and some sources.

-One of these actually got described this year, that being the ox-sized dicynodont from Poland, now named Lisowicia bojani
- I also have the papers "describing" all those stegosaurian nomina nuda if you're interested. One is the original Russian version, the other is a translation.
- "Brachiosaurus" nougaredi] isn't anything new, it's been known for almost 60 years, and is likely to be a [nomen dubium].

That's all for now, but I'll read through the list again to look for anything I missed.

Thank you for reading through the list and do let me know if anything else has been published.

1. I thought that was referring to Lisowicia, but I left it up as I was unsure if it truly was. Thanks for confirming.
2. I believe you are referring to the Kenneth Carpenter paper from 2016 where Alcovosaurus was described. This list probably has several items that have been described, but I put them on there due to having unpublished names attached to them that were listed on Wikipedia's "List of informally named dinosaur genera" page. I still would like to see both papers though. I'll remove them from the list.
3. I'll remove "B." nougaredi from the list as well. However, has it actually been published, or have we just known about it for years with no official publication?

Thank you for letting me know. I wasn't sure if that study was referring to Keresdrakon, so I left it up just in case. Now that I know that this has finally been described, I will remove it from the list.

austrosaurus

Quote
new assemblage of pteranodontids and nyctosaurids from the latest Cretaceous of Morocco, nyctosaurids suggested to be large and diverse (Flugsaurier 2015)

a new azdarchid from the Late Cretaceous Hateg Island group of Romania

Many of the species in the Morocco assemblage have been named (but if I remember correctly there are still a few to come), while I'm pretty sure the Hateg azhdharchid is Albadraco tharmisensis, which was named late last year.

Also, would you consider making a "companion thread" of sorts for when species on this list get named/described?

I know that this troodontid nest has been described in detail, but what about the hatchling skeleton?: http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=8489.0

Thanks for the suggestion. I just made a "companion thread" of the sort you described, which even helped me find some published descriptions/studies on this list that I didn't even realize were on it.

austrosaurus

Quotea new theropod with paleoart being worked on by Sergey Krasovskiy (Mentioned on Krasovskiy's Twitter account: https://twitter.com/SergeyAtrox1/status/1157754415316684800)

The full artwork of this animal has been up on Sergey's Instagram page for some time now, and he said in the comments that it's based on a specimen (NMMNH P-3698) that's now considered to be no more diagnostic than Tyrannosaurus sp., which raises the question that it could be the nomen nudum "Alamotyrannus"/Tyrannosaurus brinkmanni.

Thanks for helping keep track of this list and letting me know what else needs to be shifted to the published list. I know I haven't been keeping it up to date in a while, but I definitely plan on continuing to work on this thread and its companion, so please let me know if anything else on the list gets published that I don't notice for some reason.

The specimen TMM 42489-2 named Javelinadactylus sagebieli in a now-retracted paper by Hebert Campos has been named Wellnhopterus brevirostris by Andres and Langston (2021). The paper coining Javelinadactylus for TMM 42489-2 did not mention cervical vertebrae among the material preserved in the Wellnhopterus brevirostris holotype, and this was one of the reasons that the editors of the Biologia journal had Campos withdraw the paper coining Javelinadactylus for TMM 42489-2 from publication.

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.
