Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Melanorosauridae.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Melanorosauridae, family name (F. von Huene 1929, in An. Mus. la Plata 3) < Melanorosaurus , genus name (S. H. Haughton 1924, in Ann. S. Afr. Mus. 12 428; < ancient Greek μέλαν- , μέλας black (see melano- comb. form) + ὄρος mountain (see oro- comb. form¹) + σαῦρος lizard: see -saur comb. form) + -idae (see -id suffix³).The genus name alludes to the Xhosa name of the place where the first fossil remains were found, Thaba 'Nyama (‘Black Mountain’) in the Herschel district of South Africa, south of Lesotho.

Palaeontology.

A. adj.

Of, relating to, or designating members of the family Melanorosauridae of prosauropod dinosaurs of the late Triassic, which were probably quadrupedal.

ΚΠ

1965 Proc. Linn. Soc. 176 200 Attridge and Crompton have recently re-examined the melanorosaurid material in the South African Museum.

1990 P. M. Galton in D. B. Weishampel et al. Dinosauria xv. 340/2 The postcranial elements referred to the theropod dinosaur Sinosaurus triassicus..include a mixture of plateosaurid and melanorosaurid elements.

B. n.

A dinosaur of the family Melanorosauridae.

ΚΠ

1972 Arnoldia (Rhodesia) 5 No. 30. 11 The close similarity between the pelvis of Vulcanodon..and that of the Lesotho melanorosaurid suggests relationship with that prosauropod family.

1974 B. J. Stahl Vertebr. Hist.: Probl. Evol. vii. 335 Reig supposed that the melanorosaurids retained the posture primitive for the group.

1990 P. M. Galton in D. B. Weishampel et al. Dinosauria xv. 334/1 They..considered that the partly bipedal prosauropods were offshoots from this main quadrupedal line that included melanorosaurids and blikanasaurids.

1997 M. J. Benton Vertebr. Palaeontol. (ed. 2) viii. 198/2 More derived prosauropods include Plateosaurus..and the melanorosaurids such as Riojasaurus from the latest Triassic of Argentina.
