Talk:Eustreptospondylus

Eustreptospondylus/Streptospondylus cuvieri tussle
Walker (1964) noted that Streptospondylus cuvieri was too ill-preserved to be defined as valid, and demonstrated that one specimen originally assigned to S. cuvieri, and then to Megalosaurus, wasdiagnostic enough to be a new genus and species of dinosaur, which he named Eustreptospondylus oxoniensis. Streptospondylus cuvieri is therefore not synonymous with E. oxoniensis. Therefore, update the Eustreptospondylus page.

Streptospondylus cuvieri
Streptospondylus cuvieri is from the early Bathonian Chipping Norton Formation (Owen 1842), whereas Eustreptospondylus comes from the late Callovian Middle Oxford Clay (Martill 1988), so it's unlikely S. cuvieri is the same as Eustreptospondylus.

Another species?
I have a personal record of another species, E. divensis. Can anyone else verify this?Ninjatacoshell 20:12, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

The Name Translation
There's no such translation as "true Streptospondylus". Its name means "well curved vertebrae". It's meant to be in reference to the additions on the animal's spine. --12.17.177.164 (talk) 02:04, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
