Abstract

Theropod and sauropod dinosaur teeth are being described for the first time from Lameta Group (Upper Cretaceous) of Kheda District, Gujarat. Carnosaurian teeth show megalosaurid characters and are placed in Majungasaurus (Megalosaurus) crenatissimus and (?) Megalosaurus. Five morphological types of (?) Megalosaurus teeth have been distinguished which vary from laterally compressed flattened cones to recurved ones having serrations on anterior/posterior margins and directed either at right angles or obliquely to the margins. The sauropod dinosaur teeth are tentatively placed in Titanosaurus and described as a new species viz., (?) Titanosaurus rahioliensis.

Abstract

The MACE telescope has recently been commissioned at Hanle, Ladakh, India. It had its first light in April 2021 with a successful detection of very high energy gamma-ray photons from the standard candle Crab Nebula. Equipped with a large light collector of 21 m diameter and situated at an altitude of ~4.3 km amsl, the MACE telescope is expected to explore the mysteries of the non-thermal Universe in the energy range above 20 GeV with very high sensitivity. It can also play an important role in carrying out multi-messenger astronomy in India.

Keywords
