Scientist discover fossil of long-necked dinosur that existed 70-100 million years back

Scientists have discovered a new species of long-necked titanosaurian dinosaur in Tanzania that lived about 70 to 100 million years ago.

The new species named Shingopana songwensis is a member of the gigantic, long-necked sauropods. Its fossil was discovered in the Songwe region of the Great Rift Valley in southwestern Tanzania.

"There are anatomical features present only in Shingopana and in several South American titanosaurs, but not in other African titanosaurs," said Eric Gorscak, a paleontologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, US.

"Shingopana had siblings in South America, whereas other African titanosaurs were only distant cousins," Gorscak added.

The team conducted phylogenetic analyses to understand the evolutionary relationships of these and other titanosaurs.

They found that Shingopana was more closely related to titanosaurs of South America than to any of the other species currently known from Africa or elsewhere.

"This discovery suggests that the fauna of northern and southern Africa were very different in the Cretaceous Period," said Judy Skog, a programme director in National Science Fuundation in the US.

"At that time, southern Africa dinosaurs were more closely related to those in South America, and were more widespread than we knew," Skog added.

Shingopana roamed the Cretaceous landscape alongside Rukwatitan bisepultus, another titanosaur identified in 2014, researchers said.

Part of the Shingopana skeleton was excavated in 2002 by scientists affiliated with the Rukwa Rift Basin Project, an international effort led by Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine researchers Patrick O'Connor and Nancy Stevens.

The findings were published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.

At a time when distributor sales teams are fully taxed, BevStrat has over 200 people on the ground to sell, market and support the small to mid-sized brand in over 22 states

New York (PRWEB) August 28, 2017

BevStrat, the beverage industries trusted selling, strategy and sales arm just added it's 100th brand for USA selling support.

Created in 2010 as a one person solution by Brian Rosen, BevStrat now has over 200 sales people on the ground in 22 states, operating in a commission model. BevStrat has become the #1 "Boots on the Ground" solution to brands with less than 100,000 cases in distribution nationally. Brian Rosen, BevStrat COO, three tier industry leader, and 30 year industry veteran, states, "There are more brands coming to market then ever before, and that is a problem for the small brand producer because of market saturation and limited distributor attention. By achieving this 100th brand milestone, we confirm daily through selling, that independent brands need extra support in the markets that the distributors do not have the manpower or time to provide. By adding organized, track-able, accountable, and smart sales associates we are seeing a 22-45% lift in brand sales."

BevStrat operates under the base premise that distributors no longer have time and energy to build brands. In 2017, brands need a specialty brand support service like BevStrat to assist producers in getting the products into the market. Brands are built in the 4th quarter when the adult beverage business typically generates nearly 43% of annual sales.

BevStrat is in 22 states with offices in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. Reported by PRWeb 5 hours ago.
