Remember, we’re studying AMNIOTES. Defined by: EMBRYOLOGICAL FEATURES: amnion, chorion, allantois, yolk sac. ANATOMICAL FEATURES: lack of an intertemporal bone. ALSO, FUNCTIONAL FEATURES: Costal breathing (inhaling using movement of the ribs). Active exhalation using movement of ribs to push air out.

ARCHOSAURIA

ARCHOSAURS ARE DIAPSID REPTILES ARCHOSAURIA INCLUDES: Crocodylomorpha Pterosauria Dinosasuria Aves (Birds)

Crocodylomorpha Pterosauria Eoraptor Herrerasauridae Saurischia Ornithischia Archosauria

Crocodylomorpha Pterosauria Eoraptor Herrerasauridae Saurischia Ornithischia Archosauria

PTEROSAURIA: Flying Reptiles of the Mesozoic They are the closest relatives of dinosaurs, but they are not actually dinosaurs. They used elongate 4 th finger to support a wing. The wing DID NOT attach to the leg.

Rhamphorhynchus sp.

Reconstruction of the pterosaur Eudimorphodon in pronograde, bipedal walking.

TERMS FOR POSTURE Pronograde: backbone parallel to ground Orthograde: backbone perpendicular to ground BIPEDAL and QUADRUPEDAL are not postural terms.

Pterydactylus

Reconstruction of Pteranodon

Some pterodactyloids had wildly developed skulls. This one, Pterodaustro (Upper Cretaceous of Argentina) had numerous teeth that probably probably functioned similar to whale baleen.

Comparative wing structure in flying vertebrates

Two hypotheses of wing reconstruction in Pteranodon.

The largest of the Late Cretaceous pterosaurs were probably so large they were restricted to being gliders only. Quetzalcoatlus northropi had a wingspan of approximately meters.

Humerus of Quetzalcoatlus northropi – over ½ meter long. Humerus (young?) Q. northropi – about 0.25 meter long.

Quetzalcoatlus northropi had a wingspan of approximately meters.

Crocodylomorpha Pterosauria Eoraptor Herrerasauridae Saurischia Ornithischia THE MOST PRIMITIVE DINOSAURS

Eoraptor lunensis (“Dawn Raptor”) From the Upper Triassic of Argentina. Thought to be amongst the most primitive of dinosaurs. Its hip is like that of dinosaurs: it has a “perforate” acetabulum. (A hole in the hip socket.)

Herrerasauridae : Upper Triassic of Argentina 2 – 4.5 meters long. Long, low skull that is as long as the femur. 24 presacral vertebrae; and the vertebrae are relatively shorter than more primitive forms.

Dinosaurian groups more derived than Herrerasaurs may be divided into two groups based on hip construction: SAURISCHIANORNITHISCHIAN (Note position of pubis.)
