摘要

泰坦龙是白垩纪时期种类最丰富的类龙科动物,其大部分种类出现在晚白垩世。本研究描述了Tiamat valdecii, gen. et sp. nov.,它是在巴西东北部塞阿拉州波蒂瓜尔盆地阿苏地层(白垩纪-前一世纪)发现的基干泰坦龙的一个新种。该新类群由尾椎前部至中部的相关序列组成,有四个诊断特征:位于颧骨前部的明显的附属结节背腹侧发育;颧骨前部和颧骨后部关节面的中腹部深度开凿的关节面;存在发达的下椎管-下椎管关节;短的中心骨上有明显的血弓关节面。系统进化分析表明,Tiamat valdecii 是泰坦龙科的基干成员。Tiamat是阿苏地层已知的第一个早白垩世泰坦龙物种。生物力学分析表明,提亚玛特中间尾椎的椎骨颧骨的小瘤和开凿使其具有更大的稳定性,可以抵御所呈现的两性椎体的剪切负荷;此外,它们还允许更大范围的横向运动,而不影响关节的完整性。这些特征可能是尾椎中段稳定性的进化替代方案。在阿苏地层发现的T. valdecii不仅增加了该单元恐龙的已知多样性,而且有助于我们阐明泰坦龙第一次辐射的一部分。

A new sauropod species from north-western Brazil: biomechanics and the radiation of Titanosauria (Sauropoda: Somphospondyli)
Titanosaurs were the most diverse sauropod group during the Cretaceous period, with most of its diversity being found during the Late Cretaceous. In this work, Tiamat valdecii, gen. et sp. nov. is described, a new species of basal titanosaur prospected from the Açu Formation (Albian–Cenomanian), Potiguar Basin, Ceará state, north-east Brazil. The new taxon is composed by an associated sequence of anterior to middle caudal vertebrae, being diagnosed by four diagnostic features: a marked accessory tuberosity dorsoventrally developed, located on the prezygapophyses; deeply medioventral excavated articulation facets of prezygapophysis and post-zygapophyses articular facets; presence of developed hypantrum–hyposphene articulations; and short middle centra with a well-marked articular facet for the haemal arch. The phylogenetic analysis reveals that Tiamat valdecii was a basal member of Titanosauria. Tiamat is the first species of Early Cretaceous titanosaur known for the Açu Formation. Biomechanical analysis shows that the tuberosity and excavation of the zygapophyses of the middle caudal vertebrae of Tiamat provide greater stability against shear loads in the amphicoelous vertebrae presented; in addition, they allow greater range of lateral movements without affecting the integrity of the joints. These features may have been an evolutionary alternative for the stability of the middle of the caudal vertebral column. The discovery of T. valdecii in the Açu Formation not only increases the known dinosaur diversity for this unit, but also helps us elucidate part of the first titanosaur radiation.

期刊介绍: The Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society publishes papers on systematic and evolutionary zoology and comparative, functional and other studies where relevant to these areas. Studies of extinct as well as living animals are included. Reviews are also published; these may be invited by the Editorial Board, but uninvited reviews may also be considered. The Zoological Journal also has a wide circulation amongst zoologists and although narrowly specialized papers are not excluded, potential authors should bear that readership in mind.
