Teyumbaita

Teyumbaita (meaning "lizard (Teyu´) and parrot (Mbaita´)" in the Brazilian aborigine Tupi-Guaraní language) is an extinct genus of hyperodapedontine rhynchosaur from the Upper Triassic (early Norian age) epoch of Paleorrota, Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. Its fossils, two nearly complete skulls and a partial skull were discovered in the lower part of the Caturrita Formation and was first assigned to a species of Scaphonyx (now considered to be a nomen dubium), Scaphonyx sulcognathus. This species was reassigned to its own genus by Felipe Chinaglia Montefeltro, Max Cardoso Langer and Cesar Leandro Schultz in 2010 and the type species is Teyumbaita sulcognathus.[1] Fossil material of a second, yet-unnamed species, is known from the Hoyada del Cerro Las Lajas site of the Ischigualasto Formation (Argentina).[2]

Material

Many specimens of T. sulcognathus have been found to date:[1]

  • UFRGS-PV-0232T (holotype) - partial skeleton with nearly complete skull
  • UFRGS-PV-0298T - partial skeleton and nearly complete skull
  • UFRGS-PV-0290T - partial skeleton and skull
  • UFRGS-PV-0418T - partial right mandible
  • UFRGS-PV-0420T - partial right dentary and postcrania
  • UFRGS-PV-0445T - partial maxilla
  • MCP-683 - partial left dentary
gollark: Also, it's not just IP. Consider also 3D printers and other such small-scale manufacturing technologies.
gollark: You need a more coherent system for paying for works where it's hard to capture value than just "decide not to starve artists".
gollark: This is hard to distinguish. You can "make things" on a personal computer and such nowadays.
gollark: Interesting! I'm glad that's been resolved.
gollark: Which is possibly true in a lot of cases because of general-purpose computing abilities being slowly eroded, and interesting online platforms lacking (good) APIs, but still.
