Important New Paper[edit]

New paper has just hit, pushing the taxon back about 15 million years. [1] Lusotitan 19:11, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Not much from the paper can be used in the article body except in Discovery and naming. No concrete date either, somewhat disappointing. Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 20:12, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Paleoecology? FunkMonk (talk) 21:33, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not much. Some talk of the surrounding matrix, but no real interpretation. There's also an indet. massospondylid mentioned. Doesn't make for a very well-rounded section. Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 23:40, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lucky us. Their paper gives a very generalized age assessment, but they do have a time calibrated phylogeny, which has Vulcanodon as 199-188 mya. As its included in the published paper this is about as good as we will get without actual elemental decomp analysis. IJReid ^{{{T - C - D - R}}} 04:14, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IJReid, I just noticed the old foot diagram was removed, but isn't it more useful than having two photos of similar models? And isn't the first model weird in not showing fingers? Also has the nostrils too far up in any case... FunkMonk (talk) 22:22, 6 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it because its a bit old and misleading in lacking the external toes, but I am not opposed to it being readded. I would edit it if I could remember the source for the dorsal views but I can't. IJReid ^{{{T - C - D - R}}} 00:29, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah ok, maybe it should wait then. But is that first model's fingers accurate? FunkMonk (talk) 09:39, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
