Turiasaur Fossil Data from the Bathonian of India

A 148.5 KB dataset supporting a paleontological study on new sauropod remains from the Bathonian Badabag Member of the Jaisalmer Formation in western India. The dataset includes anatomical, histological, and phylogenetic evidence and was authored by Archana Sharma. It was last updated on 2026-05-22.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic analysis based on anatomical and histological evidence.
• Paleobiogeographic modeling of turiasaur distribution based on fossil location data.
• Comparative anatomical studies based on described caudal vertebrae and tooth crown features.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Data files are provided in both TXT and TNT formats, which may support different analysis tools.
• The associated study provides integrated anatomical, histological, and phylogenetic evidence.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 148.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and structure must be verified.
