Hasle Formation
The Hasle Formation is a geologic formation on the island on Bornholm, Denmark. It is of early to late Pliensbachian age. Vertebrate fossils have been uncovered from this formation.[1][2]

Massopoda Indeterminate |
DK966, an upper part of a femur from a juvenile animal |
A Massopoda Sauropodomorph. DK966 has been compared with various taxa from the lower jurassic: "Aristosaurus erectus", a young Massospondylus, various Massospondylus specimens, Lufengosaurus huenei holotype, Seitaad ruessi, Thecodontosaurus, Pantydraco, etc. DK966 can be probably a young specimen of Massopoda, related to Massospondylus, more than a Plateosaurid or an Anchisaurid. We find it related to "Hortalotarsus", "Aristosaurus" and Massospondylus more than Seitaad for example. Based on the several taxa we had compared probably presented a body similar to Pantydraco being a young specimen. The complete bone is estimated on only 6 cm, making the animal no more than 70 cm length. |
