The history of dinosaur collecting in central India, 1828–1947

<p>The history of dinosaur collecting in central India (former Central Provinces and Central India Agency) began in 1828 when W. H. Sleeman discovered isolated sauropod caudal vertebrae in the Lameta Formation near Jabalpur. Subsequently, the area became a focal point for fossil collection, leading to a series of further discoveries that continues today. </p> <p>The earliest discoveries were made by numerous collectors for whom palaeontology was a secondary pursuit, and who were employed in the armed forces (W. H. Sleeman and W. T. Nicolls), medicine (G. G. Spilsbury) or as geologists (T. Oldham, H. B. Medlicott, T. W. H. Hughes and C. A. Matley). Most of their finds were concentrated around Jabalpur or farther south near Pisdura and often consisted of isolated, surface-collected bones. </p> <p>Charles Matley undertook the two most extensive collecting efforts, in 1917–1919 and 1932–1933 (Percy Sladen Trust Expedition). As a result he discovered significant deposits of dinosaurs on Bara Simla and Chhota Simla, revisited Pisdura, and mapped the Lameta Formation. Many new dinosaur taxa resulted from Matley's studies, which still represent most of the known Lameta Formation dinosaur fauna. Current scientific understanding places these fossils among the Sauropoda (as titanosaurians) and Theropoda (as abelisaurids and noasaurids). Early reports of armoured ornithischians were erroneous; these materials also pertain to sauropods and theropods. </p

AICc scores and model fits for OU and other models implemented in OUwie

Appendix S4

Diagrams illustrating trajectories of stepwise-AICc and stepwise-pBIC searches following the SUFACE algorithm and resulting regime configurations

Dataset S4

Phylogenetic trees used in our analyses, in Newick format. The main trees are found in Dinosaur trees Benson 2017.tre. Other trees are timescaled subsets of these trees, described with reference to a timescaling method (mbl1, cal3, Hedman) and clade name (Dinosauria, Sauropodomorpha, Ornithischia, Theropoda)

Appendix S5 phenograms

Phenograms illustrating regime configurations mapped to phylogenies evolving in body size space through time

Appendix S1

Methods and results for dinosaur body mass estimates, including Tables S1–S12

Appendix S3

Diagrams comparing the pBIC scores of SURFACE regime configurations from analysis of timescaled phylogenies mapped to the same phylogenies timescaled using other methods
