山东莱阳晚白垩世恐龙与恐龙蛋研究历史和新进展

简要回顾了莱阳恐龙和恐龙蛋化石群的研究历史和以杨钟健为代表的老一代地质古生物学者对莱阳恐龙和恐龙蛋研究发现的杰出贡献,并介绍了莱阳恐龙和恐龙蛋的最新发现和若干研究进展.在近年来对莱阳周边地层进行的大规模考察中,发现了一系列发育在平原上的恐龙峡谷群,以及其中蕴含的十几个恐龙和恐龙蛋新地点和新层位.2010年开始,在对莱阳金岗口村附近的2个化石地点的发掘中,发现了以鸭嘴龙科为主的大量脊椎动物化石和蛋化石,包括一类新的栉龙亚科成员,一些大型兽脚类恐龙化石,以及一新的龟鳖类蛋化石等.2号地点化石富集层具有典型的泥石流沉积特征和骨骼埋藏特征.对棘鼻青岛龙的特殊头饰进行了CT扫描和三维重建,发现其头饰是实心结构,但其他骨骼特征证明棘鼻青岛龙属于具有头饰的赖氏龙亚科是确定无疑的,所以目前发现的头饰应不是其真实状态或根本不属于其头部骨骼.此外,对谭氏龙1属3种的重新观察研究得出以下结论:中国谭氏龙和金刚口谭氏龙应是有效属种,但部分骨骼还有疑问,还需要进一步研究,而莱阳谭氏龙为无效属种.

Review of historical and current research on the Late Cretaceous dinosaurs and dinosaur eggs from Laiyang,Shandong

Here we briefly review the history of research on the Laiyang dinosaur and dinosaur egg faunas,summarize the contributions of C.C.Young and other elder paleontologists to the discoveries of the Late Cretaceous dinosaurs and dinosaur eggs from Laiyang,and introduce the new discoveries and the advances in the research on the Laiyang faunas.The new investigations in Laiyang from 2008 have found a series of valley developed in plain and more than ten new dinosaur or dinosaur egg fossil beds.In 2010,we began the massive excavations at two localities in Jingangkou and collected abundant dinosaurs and other vertebrate fossils,such as a new saurolophine,some theropod material and a new taxon of turtle egg.The bone beds in Locality 2 with the typical sedimentary and burial patterns of mudflow,and these fossil deposits are interpreted as having been carried and deposited by mudflow.The re-observation and the CT scanning data of the crest of Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus (IVPP V 725) show that the crest is fractured and solid.However,based on the re-observations of its cranial and postcranial specimens,we consider that Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus is a valid taxon of lambeosaurines,which have the hollow crest.Therefore,the crest of Tsintaosaurus might not belong to the skull of this individual,and the true form of the crest needs to be confirmed in the future work.We reassess the three species of Tanius,and obtain several results.1) Tanius sinensis and Tanius chingkankouensis are the valid species of Tanius;2) Tanius laiyangensis is invalid.;3) the sacrum and ilium of Tanius chingkankouensis with typical hadrosaurid features should not be referred to Tanius.
