Saichangurvel (original) (raw)
Il saichangurvel (Saichangurvel davidsoni) è un rettile estinto, affine alle odierne iguane. Visse nel Cretaceo superiore (circa 70 milioni di anni fa) e i suoi resti sono stati ritrovati in Mongolia, nel giacimento di Ukhaa Tolgod.

| dbo:abstract | Saichangurvel (meaning "beautiful lizard" in Mongolian) is an extinct genus of iguanian lizards from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia. It is a member of a clade called Gobiguania, an exclusively Late Cretaceous group of iguanian lizards that was likely endemic to the Gobi Desert. The type species, Saichangurvel davidsoni, was named by paleontologists and Mark Norell of the American Museum of Natural History in 2007. It is known from a single nearly complete and fully articulated skeleton called IGM 3/858, which was found eroding from a block of sandstone during a thunderstorm at a fossil locality called . IGM 3/858 comes from the Djadochta Formation, which is between 75 and 71 million years in age. Just as it is today, the Gobi was a desert during the Cretaceous. IGM 3/858 may have died in a collapsing sand dune, the rapid burial preserving its skeleton in pristine condition. Saichangurvel has a lightly built skull with a short snout and large eye sockets. It differs from other gobiguanians such as and Temujinia in that it has a large uncalcified region (a fontanelle) around an opening in its skull roof called the pineal foramen. It also lacks the large caniniform teeth seen in some other gobiguanians. Below is a cladogram from Daza et al. (2012) showing its phylogenetic relationships with other gobiguanians: (en) Il saichangurvel (Saichangurvel davidsoni) è un rettile estinto, affine alle odierne iguane.
