Cranial ornamentation in the Late Cretaceous nodosaurid ankylosaur Hungarosaurus [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Bony cranial ornamentation is developed by many groups of vertebrates, including ankylosaur dinosaurs. To date, the morphology and ontogenetic origin of ankylosaurian cranial ornamentation has primarily focused on a limited number of species from only ...

Divergent strategies in cranial biomechanics and feeding ecology of the ankylosaurian dinosaurs [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Ankylosaurs were important megaherbivores of Jurassic and Cretaceous ecosystems. Their distinctive craniodental anatomy and mechanics differentiated them from coexisting hadrosaurs and ceratopsians, and morphological evidence suggests dietary niche ...

A new Cretaceous thyreophoran from Patagonia supports a South American lineage of armoured dinosaurs [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The early evolution of thyreophoran dinosaurs is thought to have occurred primarily in northern continents since most evidence comes from the Lower and Middle Jurassic of Europe and North America.

The world’s oldest cerapodan ornithischian dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic of Morocco [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe cerapodan dinosaurs were an ornithischian clade that achieved a global distribution in the Cretaceous Period. The ichnological record suggests that these dinosaurs had evolved by the Middle Jurassic, but only a single cerapodan body fossil, an ...
