CRANIOFACIAL ANATOMY OFMAJUNGASAURUS CRENATISSIMUS(THEROPODA: ABELISAURIDAE) FROM THE LATE CRETACEOUS OF MADAGASCAR

Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2007
ABSTRACT Recent fieldwork in the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Maevarano Formation, northwest Madagascar, has yielded important new skull material of the abelisaurid theropod, Majungasaurus crenatissimus. One of these specimens in particular—a virtually complete, disarticulated, and well preserved skull—greatly elucidates the craniofacial osteology ...

PALEOENVIRONMENT AND PALEOECOLOGY OFMAJUNGASAURUS CRENATISSIMUS(THEROPODA: ABELISAURIDAE) FROM THE LATE CRETACEOUS OF MADAGASCAR

Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2007
ABSTRACT The abelisaurid theropod Majungasaurus crenatissimus inhabited the plains of northwestern Madagascar during the Late Cretaceous. It lived alongside other nonavian dinosaurs, including a small-bodied noasaurid theropod (Masiakasaurus knopfleri) and a titanosaurian sauropod (Rapetosaurus krausei).

Taxonomic identification of isolated theropod teeth: The case of the shed tooth crown associated with Aerosteon (Theropoda: Megaraptora) and the dentition of Abelisauridae

Cretaceous Research, 2020
Abstract Shed teeth are usually the most abundant theropod material on a dinosaur fossil site and are constantly reported in the literature. Although new quantitative techniques have emerged to identify isolated theropod teeth with better accuracy, they remain difficult to assign to a certain family-level or genus-level taxon because of the presence ...

Abelisauridae (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Late Jurassic of Portugal and dentition-based phylogeny as a contribution for the identification of isolated theropod teeth

Zootaxa, 2014
Theropod dinosaurs form a highly diversified clade, and their teeth are some of the most common components of the Mesozoic dinosaur fossil record. This is the case in the Lourinhã Formation (Late Jurassic, Kimmeridgian-Tithonian) of Portugal, where theropod teeth are particularly abundant and diverse. Four isolated theropod teeth are here described and

The Late Cretaceous Diversification of Abelisauridae (Theropoda: Ceratosauria): An Overview.

2013
Abelisauridae is a mostly Gondwanan clade of large-bodied, basal theropods. The oldest abelisaurids were recovered from the Middle Jurassic deposits of South America, a continent that nowadays accounts more than half of named species of this clade. In the Lower Cretaceous, abelisaurids were relatively smaller and less abundant than coeval allosauroids ...
