Info

Genus - Typespecies

Stormbergia dangershoeki gen. et. sp. nov. is described from three partial skeletons including numerous postcranial material. and is significantly larger than previously described Elliot Formation ornithischians, Stormbergia dangershoeki can be recognized on the basis of a unique combination of characters, the most important of which is the possession of a distinctive tab-shaped obturator process on the ischium. A preliminary systematic analysis is presented, the results of which differ significantly from other recent ornithischian phylogenies.\\\"
