Pedal ungual IV (Fig. 3) is in some of its features a mir- ror image of pedal ungual II, but is smaller and less elon- gate, with the portion distal to the flexor fossa typically not exceeding half of the ungual length. keywords: brownstein; cmn; et al; iii; ornithomimid; ornithomimosaur; pedal; pedal ungual; ungual; variation cache: vamp-29283.pdf plain text: vamp-29283.txt item: #3 of 13 id: vamp-29334 author: Kellner, Alexander title: Rebuttal of Martin-Silverstone et al. 2017, ‘Reassessment of Dawndraco kanzai Kellner 2010 and reassignment of the type specimen to Pteranodon sternbergi Harksen, 1966’ date: 2017-08-11 words: 7397 flesch: 55 summary: If one takes the Jehol Biota of China as an example, although agreeing that the num- ber of species might be inflated (e.g., Wang et al. 2005, Wang and Zhou 2006, Kellner 2010, but see Andres et al. 2014), there is a tremendous amount of diversity, even if only considering the Aptian Jiufotang Formation (e.g., Wang et al. 2005, Lü and Ji, 2006, Lü et al. 2008, Wang et al. 2012, Wang et al. 2014b, Andres et al. 2014). In one of the few pterosaur bonebeds (which include some eggs, demonstrating the likelihood of the presence of females), where different individuals can con- fidently be assigned to the same species, there are morph- ological evidences suggesting that the expression of the cranial crests (but not their presence, see Cheng et al. 2017) might be sexually dimorphic (Wang et al. 2014a). keywords: bennett; crest; et al; fhsm; kellner; martin; morphology; pteranodon; pterosaur; silverstone; silverstone et; species; ualvp cache: vamp-29334.pdf plain text: vamp-29334.txt item: #4 of 13 id: vamp-29335 author: Acorn, John H.; Martin-Silverstone, Elizabeth; Glasier, James R.N.; Mohr, Sydney; Currie, Philip J. title: Response to Kellner (2017) 'Rebuttal of Martin-Silverstone, E., J.R.N.

(2018) disagreed with four major acts in that paper: (1) the confident assignment of the Arundel Clay pedal unguals to ornithomimosaurs, (2) the identification of one bone as the manual ungual of an orni- thomimosaur, (3) comparisons of the Arundel Clay humerus to the corresponding element in other ornithomimosaur taxa, and (4) the identification of two distinct morphotypes of ornithomimosaur based on comparisons of the pedal un- guals. Furthermore, despite the claims of McFeeters et al. (2018) that the different contributions of the proximodorsal process to the shape of the proxim- al articular facets in the Arundel Clay unguals are due to the presence of deepened sulci proximally adjacent to the grooves for the claw sheath on both the medial and lat- eral surfaces of NHRD-AP 2014.s.195 and USNM PAL 529423 and the relative depth of the medial and lateral grooves for the claw sheath are consistent with position- al variation, the differences in these features among the Arundel Clay bones as described by Brownstein (2017) either pertain to characteristics that McFeeters et al. (2018:63) considered uninformative for the position of the unguals in the foot (i.e., “the development of the prox- imodorsal process”) or differ from the positional variation described in that study (e.g., the deepness of the grooves for the claw sheath). keywords: brownstein; clay; et al; mcfeeters; mcfeeters et; pedal; unguals cache: vamp-29340.pdf plain text: vamp-29340.txt item: #6 of 13 id: vamp-29343 author: McFeeters, Bradley; Ryan, Michael; Cullen, Thomas title: Response to Brownstein (2018) ‘Rebuttal of McFeeters, Ryan and Cullen, 2018’ date: 2018-07-16 words: 1328 flesch: 42 summary: We thank Brownstein (2018) for providing further elaboration of morphological characters that may be useful for distinguishing ornithomimosaur pedal unguals from those of other theropods.
