Removed species and specimens[edit]

It seems several species have been removed from the genus recently, and we have some images on Commons that seem to show specimens belonging to other genera. It's a bit confusing, though, but it seems only the specimens shown in the article now are accepted as part of the genus. What are the rest?[1] FunkMonk (talk) 16:30, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I could match:

Dollo’s specimen (IRSNB R47) - "File:Goniopholis simus.jpg", "File:Goniopholis simus 1.jpg", "File:Goniopholis simus 2.jpg" and "File:Goniopholis simus 3.jpg" based on Andrade et al., 2011
Amphicotylus stovalli (or E. stovalli??) - "File:Goniopholis skull.JPG" based on Allen (2010) thesis [specimen OMNH 2392], as well as the author of the photo (Mitternacht90), and also "Oklahoma"
Amphicotylus gilmorei - "File:Goniopholis skeleton, Stegosaurus skeleton.JPG" based only on the author of the photo (Ninjatacoshell). [A. gilmorei is known only from CM 2312, so I'm not sure about this...]

Is there a Amphicotylus gilmorei and lucasii? The article doesn't mention those species, are they sunonyms or recently added? And I think I added the species name to the file description, don't remember on what grounds... FunkMonk (talk) 17:06, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dollo’s specimen - "File:Goniopholis.jpg", based on the description ("Iguanodon site in Bernissart") and the completeness of the material

Nice, so many of them are still unnamed it seems... Also, this article states there are Nannosuchus in the US, but isn't it only from the UK? FunkMonk (talk) 17:06, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is! My bad... Rnnsh (talk) 17:22, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On that mounted cast: " This specimen was discovered at Bone Cabin Quarry in 1993. Skull measures: 19.5 inches (49.5 cm) long, 10 inches (25.4 cm) wide, 6 inches (15.2 cm) high."[2] Undescribed maybe? FunkMonk (talk) 17:16, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if it's the same one, but according to paleodb the only loricatan from this quarry is a "Crocodylia indet." (based on Miles & Hamblin, 1999). Rnnsh (talk) 17:57, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"The specimen is one of less than ten associated skeletons of Goniopholis found in the Morrison Formation so far. The best specimens have been found recently, including a nearly complete Goniopholis from Bone Cabin Quarry in Wyoming (now at the Gunma Museum of Natural History)."

It wasn't referred to any particular species. Rnnsh (talk) 11:38, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. Seems like these guys didn't get much taxonomic love until recently... FunkMonk (talk) 07:09, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This one[3] seems unidentified as well.[4] FunkMonk (talk) 17:18, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
