Dryomorpha

Ornithopoda is a clade of ornithischian dinosaurs, called ornithopods. They represent one of the most successful groups of herbivorous dinosaurs during the Cretaceous. The most primitive members of the group were bipedal and relatively small-sized, while advanced members of the subgroup Iguanodontia became quadrupedal and developed large body size. Their major evolutionary advantage was the progressive development of a chewing apparatus that became the most sophisticated ever developed by a non-avian dinosaur, rivaling that of modern mammals such as the domestic cow. They reached their apex of diversity and ecological dominance in the hadrosaurids, before they were wiped out by the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event along with all other non-avian dinosaurs. Members are known worldwide.

At least 102 million years on record.

The record covers at least 174.7 Mya to 72.2 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 201.4 Mya to 61.66 Mya.

2,415 occurrences of Dryomorpha on record, most of them in the Late Cretaceous. Bar height is expected occurrences, not a count: each fossil is spread across the span it is dated to, so a tall narrow bar means tight dating and a low wide one means loose.

When

2,415 occurrences

These are dates about fossils, not the animal: the record can only begin after it arose and end before it died out, so either end may reach further. Shares are expected occurrences: a fossil dated to a span is counted partly in each period it straddles. More on what this infers.

The named rock units Dryomorpha has been recovered from, largest first. Drawn where the rock is now, not where it formed. 320 further formations hold fewer occurrences each and are not listed. 187 occurrences have no formation on record, which is common for older literature.

Dryomorpha and its relatives

Late Cretaceous

Where Dryomorpha and its relatives were recorded in the Late Cretaceous.

Found in the same rock

1,244 taxa

The Paleobiology Database records at least 1,790 sites for Dryomorpha, and this reads 240 of them. The number is how many of those sites it was catalogued from too. The 24 sharing the most are listed.

This is not a list of everything alive at the time. It is only what has come out of the same ground as this animal and been written down.

Entered from

964 references

Each of the 2,415 occurrences read was entered from one of these publications, ordered by how many each accounts for. This is not a search for papers mentioning the name. 952 further references are not listed. Entries link to doi.org where the Paleobiology Database holds an identifier, and to its own record where it does not. Relayed as the Paleobiology Database holds them, not checked against what they resolve to.

No 3D scan of Dryomorpha was found in Sketchfab.

Smithsonian Open Access and MorphoSource were not reached for this taxon, so this list is what the others held rather than everything there is.
