Jubbulpuria

Jubbulpuria is a biology topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Jubbulpuria rather than just read about it. In short: Jubbulpuria ("Jubbulpore one") is the name given to a dubious genus of theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Lameta Formation of India. Discovery and naming The genus was in 1932 named by Friedrich von Huene.

Key takeaways

Jubbulpuria belongs to biology; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Jubbulpuria to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Jubbulpuria from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Jubbulpuria ("Jubbulpore one") is the name given to a dubious genus of theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Lameta Formation of India.

Discovery and naming

The genus was in 1932 named by Friedrich von Huene. The generic name refers to Jabalpur in India, in the vicinity of which the fossils were found. The type species, Jubbulpuria tenuis, was described by Huene and Charles Alfred Matley in 1933. The specific name means "slender" in Latin. Its fossil specimens were found by Matley in 1917-19 or 1932 within the Lameta Formation, dating from the Maastrichtian. They consist of two syntypes, GSI K27/614 and GSI K20/612, each being a partial distal caudal vertebra. A third distal tail vertebra, GSI K27/599, has been referred to the species.

Description Jubbulpuria was a small predator, estimated to have been 0.5 metres (1 ft 8 in) high, 1.2 metres (3 ft 11 in) long, and weighing several kilograms.

Classification Jubbulpuria was originally classified by Huene as a coelurid dinosaur similar to but smaller than Coeluroides, another poorly known theropod from the Lameta Formation. Recent researchers have concluded that its position is hard to determine with any certainty beyond a general Theropoda incertae sedis, and that it should be considered a nomen dubium. It may have been a ceratosaur. A 2024 study identified Jubbulpuria as a junior synonym of Laevisuchus.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jubbulpuria

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Jubbulpuria claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Jubbulpuria before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Jubbulpuria ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Jubbulpuria

In research: Jubbulpuria appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Jubbulpuria in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Jubbulpuria is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Ceratosauria, Dinosaur genera, Dinosaurs of India, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jubbulpuria outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
