Caletodraco

[new-dinosaurs]

Caletodraco cottardi Buffetaut et al., 2024 (new genus and species)

(Type specimen of Caletodraco cottardi, from Buffetaut et al., 2024)

Meaning of name: Caletodraco = Caleti [Celtic tribe that lived in what is now Normandy] dragon [in Latin]; cottardi = for Nicolas Cottard [discoverer of the original fossil]

Age: Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian)

Where found: Saint-Jouin-Bruneval, Normandy, France

How much is known: Partial skeleton of one individual including a partial hip and a tail vertebra. An isolated tooth found nearby may also belong to same individual.

Notes: Caletodraco was an abelisaurid ceratosaur, making it a close relative of genera like Carnotaurus and Aucasaurus. Most abelisaurids are known from the Southern Hemisphere, but they have also been found in Europe. Caletodraco is one of the oldest known European abelisaurids, and the first dinosaur to be reported from the marine fossil sites of the Pays de Caux region in Normandy.

Welcome to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast podcast, the Jurassic Park podcast about Michael Crichton's 1990 novel Jurassic Park, and also not about that, too. 

Find the episode webpage at: Episode 71 - Isla Nublar.

In this episode (stream it here!), my terrific guest A.C. Gleason joins the show to chat with me about:

editing texts, adapating the novel into the film, Jaws, Spielberg films, H.P. Lovecraft, Crichton's writing, Crichton's success at writing screenplays, considering what else could have been added or omitted from the text into the film, dinosaurs, velociraptors, smoothly delivering believable science fiction, the Epigraph by Linnaeus, intellectual properties, gaining power and much more!

Plus dinosaur news about:

A New Theropod Dinosaur from the Callovian Balabansai Formation of Kyrgystan. (Alpkarakush kyrgyicus)

Caletodraco cottardi: A New Furileusaurian Abelisaurid from the Cenomanian Chalk of Normandy. (Caletodraco cottardi)

Featuring the music of Snale https://snalerock.bandcamp.com/

Intro: Buzzsaw Partyboy, and the Outro: Sleepyhead.

The Text:

Stitches and seams in the text.

Then:  

Jurassic Park (1993): Sc. 6 "Isla Nublar."

David Koepp's first draft, and Malia Scotch-Marmo's rewrite of Michael Crichton's draft of the script. 

Corrections:Thanks to @ravensthatflywiththenightm7319 that at 47:13 The movies don't mention "mongoliensis" in the dialogue - that's entirely in the books.

Side effects: 

May cause you to abbreviate the alphabet into a much easier to digest little ditty.

Thank you!

Scoperta in Francia una nuova specie di dinosauro abelisauride

Un dente abelisauride associato all’esemplare olotipo di Caletodraco cottardi. I paleontologi hanno aggiunto un’altra specie alla fauna di dinosauri del Cretaceo in Europa, ritrovata in Normandia, Francia. Il Caletodraco cottardi visse nell’attuale Francia durante il Cenomaniano del primo Cretaceo, circa 100 milioni di anni fa. L’antica specie era un membro della Furileusauria, un sottogruppo…
