The families Choerolophodontidae and Amebelodontidae (the latter of which includes "shovel tuskers" with flattened lower tusks like Platybelodon) are sometimes considered gomphotheres sensu lato, [10] [11] [12] though some authors argue that Amebelodontidae should be sunk into Gomphotheriidae. [13]
The name "Jesus" is not mentioned in the account. Epiphanius's account differs from that of Pseudo-Tertullian only in a few places. According to the former, the Ophites did not actually prefer the snake to Christ, but thought them identical (Pan. 37.1.2; 2.6; 6.5-6; 8.1). [2]
Squamata and Rhynchocephalia form the subclass Lepidosauria, which is the sister group to the Archosauria, the clade that contains crocodiles and birds, and their extinct relatives. Fossils of rhynchocephalians first appear in the Early Triassic, meaning that the lineage leading to squamates must have also existed at the time. [4] [5]
The involucres of Symphyotrichum racemosum are shaped like cylinders and are usually 3.5–4.5 mm long (although they can be as short as 2.5 mm and as long as 5.5 mm). [3] The phyllaries are appressed or the outer ones may be spreading. The shape of the outer phyllaries is oblong-lanceolate, and the inner phyllaries are linear.
Wagler, 1830 [1] Cnemidophorus is a genus of lizards in the family Teiidae . Species in the genus Cnemidophorus are commonly referred to as whiptail lizards or racerunners .
It had an estimated adult length of about 7.5 m (25 ft), [3] [4] with a body mass around 1.5–2 metric tons (1.7–2.2 short tons). [5] [6] The dimensions of Beibeilong were only surpassed or approached by the closely related Gigantoraptor. [7] Like other caenagnathids, Beibeilong would have been bipedal with well-developed legs.
Three or four cheek teeth are present on each jaw half, so the dental formula of odd-toed ungulates is: 0-3 . 0-1 . 2-4 . 3 1-3 . 1 . 2-4 . 3 × 2 = 30-44. The guttural pouch, a small outpocketing of the auditory tube that drains the middle ear, is a characteristic feature of Perissodactyla. [10]
The animal moves up to 2 metres (6.5 ft) at a time by rolling 20–40 times, with speeds of around 72 revolutions per minute. That is 1.5 body lengths per second (3.5 cm/s or 1.4 in/s). Researchers estimate that the stomatopod acts as a true wheel around 40% of the time during this series of rolls.
