Tom Holtz's online supplement to his encyclopedia (linked at https://www.geol.umd.edu/~tholtz/dinoappendix/appendix.html) has a scattering of the most well-known unnnamed dinosaurs as well.<br /><br />With regard to _Meroktenos_ and its Lower Elliott friends, it appears to be distinct from all those where the femur is known, which eliminates all but _Blikanasaurus_ (type _Melanorosaurus_ is also something of a problem, and the type of _Euskelosaurus_ is supposed to include a partial femur, but it wasn't included in the publication and in any case may not have been complete enough for comparison). _Blikanasaurus_ comes out at about the same place as _Meroktenos_ in the phylogenetic analysis, and conceivably they could be the same thing. We just need more material (the only overlap is Metatarsal II).Justin Tweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792470288586894872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574000839639433662.post-15570775978835014232016-03-11T15:56:53.389-06:002016-03-11T15:56:53.389-06:00I was looking at your 'Coming Attractions in D...I was looking at your 'Coming Attractions in Dinosauria?' post, and it got me thinking. Is there somewhere that compiles a larger list of unnamed dinosaurs? Your post did a pretty good job with the most important/well known ones, but is there anyway to see a larger amount of them?<br /><br />Also, given the amount of sauropodomorphs in the Lower Elliot Formation, is it possible that _Meroktenos thabanensis_ is the same as one of them? I wasn't sure because I don't know much about it. I'm not sure if you'll know the answer, but I thought I should give it at try.Monolophosaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15294576986914486909noreply@blogger.com
