Talk:Tawasaurus

Tawa
NOTES

The answer to "where is 大漥" (or potentially "大窪"?? more consistent with, either way the simplified form/variant traditional form would be "大洼") is in a posthumous collection of papers from C. C. Young.



"More recently, Z. Yang (=C. C. Young, 1982a, b) has described some tiny dinosaur jaw fragments from the Lufeng. He placed Tawasaurus minor from Heiguopeng (1982a) in the Fabrosauridae...."

"YANG, Z. 1982a. A new ornithopod from Lufeng, Yunnan. Selected works of Yang, Z., 29-35. Science Press, Beijing. [In Chinese.]"

杨钟健，1982：云南禄丰一新鸟脚类. 杨钟建文集，科学出版社，29-35.

Couldn't find Heiguopeng.

I can't get access to this paper.

The GEOnet database has "Dawazi   (Approved - N) 大洼子   (Non-Roman Script - NS){...}25° 25' 56" N, 102° 12' 32" E"  ('0EC24FDF91568072E0535DB81CD6C018', 'DC').

That location is in Lufeng. On Google Maps, it shows up as "DAWAZI 大洼子" in Renxing Town 仁兴镇.

In 2019, there is apparently as 大洼子 "Dawazi" in 小厂村民委员会 "Xiaochang" village, Heping Town 和平镇, Lufeng County, Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. That location is further south than 25° 25' 56" N, 102° 12' 32" E.

This last bit of information seems to indicate that there is more than one Dawazi in Lufeng County. There are seven Dawa/Dawazi in Yunan and 149 in China in the GEOnet database. There are other Chinese characters that could be transliterated as "Tawa".

I would say there's no way to know which minor location we are actually talking about without reading the 1982 book.

TL;DR--> Need to see the 1982 book to be able to make any kind of judgement about this. 平安夜快樂!

 * Okay, more confusing than I expected, but what was I to expect with villages? I don't know how to find the book, to be honest., do you know how to get a PDF or otherwise figure this out? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 04:43, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I can't seem to find a PDF of 杨钟建文集, and my university's library doesn't carry it. I've put a request for an interlibrary search, but it's probably not going to be processed until the new year since it's the Christmas/New Year's break. My hopes aren't that high for them to actually find the article though. I've looked around for other sources, and it seems to me that it points to 云南省禄丰县金山镇大洼村. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 05:22, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
