Autochthonous?

[edit]

"The autochthonous, scavenged skeleton was preserved ..." -- This is a quote from the original source http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/292/5522/1704 .
What is "autochthonous" supposed to mean in this context? -- 201.19.93.178 17:13, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First tetrapod since 1935?

[edit]

The article states that P. is the first tetrapod reported from the Bahariya since 1935. Does this mean first new tetrapod genus, or is it really the first specimen of a tetrapod found there in over 70 years? Wasn't Deltadromeus, for one, found there?

Speculation

[edit]

" It is also possible that Paralititan was hunted by large predatory dinosaurs such as, Bahariasaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, andSpinosaurus, though this would only be possible if the mentioned predators were able to hunt in groups of at least several individuals".

I don't think there is a scintilla of evidence to support any of this. Macdonald-ross (talk) 16:07, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
