In the November 1990 (Vol. 64, no. 6) issue of the Journal of Paleontology, Lehman and Carpenter described an Aublysodon, which at the time was believed to be the most complete Carnosaur known from the Upper Cretaceous Kirtland Shale of northwestern New Mexico. Recently, a more complete specimen, considered to be a tyrannosaurid dinosaur on the basis of a proximally constricted third metatarsal and a partial D-shaped (in cross section) premaxillary tooth (Molnar, 1990), has been brought to the attention of the Museum of Geology at Arizona State University by an amateur paleontologist who recognized its scientific importance after obtaining it from an individual in New Mexico. The remains of this dinosaur, collected in northwestern New Mexico sometime in late 1989 or early 1990 by unknown persons, include both cranial and skeletal material (Figure 1.1).

The University

While attending the 1941 summer field session of the University of New Mexico at Chaco Canyon, the author hired four Navahos and partially excavated a small pueblo site on the talus about one-third of a mile up the valley from Chetro Ketl and on the same side of the wash. A small unit of at least four rooms and two kivas of middle Pueblo III time was indicated.Standing upright on the bottom of the ventilator opening in one of the kivas was found a sandstone phallus measuring 9J inches in height. It was oval in cross-section and measured 8X7 inches at the base. The bottom was irregular, but the rest had been carefully carved and smoothed to represent most realistically the end of a phallus when erect. The specimen is now at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.

Sierra Nevada Mountains

The chain of Rocky Mountains extending south from Canada through western Montana. Wyoming, Colorado and into northern New Mexico produce a series of butterflies which are at prespnt referable under an anicia-brucei classification. Various races from this supposed parental stock are found in southwestern Colorado, Utah, the Great Basin of Nevada and elsewhere with members of the clan branching down into New Mexico. For several years I have been hoping to find representatives of this group reaching over into the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. In 1927 when on Alta Peak in Sequoia National Park, I took two males and in 1928 Mr. Walter Ireland captured four females in the same locality which I find to be closely related to the above mentioned breed.

Partial Skeleton

A fragmentary tyrannosaurid skull and postcranial skeleton from the Kirtland Shale of northwestern New Mexico is the most complete specimen of a carnivorous dinosaur known from these strata. The specimen is identified as Aublysodon cf. A. mirandus on the basis of its narrow frontals, V-shaped frontal-parietal suture, and nondenticulate incisiform premaxillary tooth. The D-shaped cross section of the premaxillary tooth, rugose postorbital, well-developed footed pubis, and proximally constricted third metatarsal confirm the assignment of Aublysodon to the Tyrannosauridae. The limb bones are gracile and similar in proportions to those of Albertosaurus; however, the tibia and metatarsals are shorter relative to the femur. The distal end of the tibia exhibits a unique medial emargination not reported in other tyrannosaurids.
