Here, we fill in some of the blanks in current knowledge of ornithischian forelimb function by investigating the range of shoulder motion and the orientation of the humerus, radius, and ulna in the centrosaurine ceratopsid Styracosaurus albertensis and the basal orni-thopod Thescelosaurus sp. Manual manipulation of forelimb bones, using the margins of bony articular surfaces to delimit the range of motion, shows that humeral ROM and forearm orientation in S. albertensis resemble those previously found in chasmosau-rine ceratopsians. Locomotion occurred with the elbows tucked in at the sides and with the radius anterior to the ulna, without pronation. The animal was also capable of splaying its forelimbs with the elbows strongly everted, so that elbow flexion and extension produced side-to-side or up-and-down movements of the torso and head. Thesce-losaurus sp. had limited humeral ROM and could not swing its humerus forward through the parasagittal plane as far as a vertical orientation. While being swung upward through the transverse plane, the humerus could not move as high as a horizontal position. Skeletal proportions and spinal curvature indicate that the forelimbs of Thescelosaurus could contact the ground while the animal stood. However, the animal is unlikely to have used quadrupedal locomotion, because its palms faced medially, and its fingers would have flexed through the transverse plane and therefore would not have provided forward propulsion","PeriodicalId":49139,"journal":{"name":"Palaeontologia Electronica","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136053102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fossil locality predictive models have the potential to maximize field time and increase chances to find important localities. This study uses remotely sensed data to design and test a fossil locality predictive model for the Early Cretaceous Cedar Mountain Formation. Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS data from known localities were summarized, reclassified, and used in a weighted suitability analysis to categorize fossil locality potential of the study area. Field work was conducted to test model functionality. Field observations were used to refine the weighted suitability analysis. Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS data alone offers a less accurate prescription of fossil locality potential. Additional physical and environmental factors play a role in determining the chance of finding fossils. Slope degree and aspect data from known localities were summarized and analyzed to further refine the model. Forty percent of existing fossil localities within the final model boundaries were located on areas having the highest fossil locality potential as identified by the model. The usefulness of fossil locality predictive models is dependent upon the quality of input data and meth-ods used to determine fossil locality potential. To fully determine the quality of a fossil locality predictive model, field testing is ideal.","PeriodicalId":49139,"journal":{"name":"Palaeontologia Electronica","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135007005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
