Abstract Recent years have seen increasing scientific interest in whether neuron counts can act as correlates of diverse biological phenomena. Lately, Herculano‐Houzel (2023) argued that fossil endocasts and comparative neurological data from extant sauropsids allow to reconstruct telencephalic neuron counts in Mesozoic dinosaurs and pterosaurs, which ...

Abstract The Lower Cretaceous Wealden Supergroup of southern England yields a diverse assemblage of theropod dinosaurs, its taxa being represented by fragments in addition to some of the most informative associated skeletons of the European Mesozoic. Spinosaurids, neovenatorid allosauroids, tyrannosauroids and dromaeosaurids are among reported Wealden ...

Multiscale Mineralization in the Leopard Gecko Eggshell
This work presents a 3D investigation of macro‐to‐nanoscale ultrastructure in the leopard gecko eggshell. Diverse structures of hierarchical calcite biomineral exist across five unique levels (rosette, scute, corolla, nanosphere, and nanodomain), integrating with an array of organic fibers to form an eggshell assembly remarkably different from avian ...

Abstract Gondwanan dinosaur faunae during the 20 Myr preceding the Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K/Pg) extinction included several lineages that were absent or poorly represented in Laurasian landmasses. Among these, the South American fossil record contains diverse abelisaurids, arguably the most successful groups of carnivorous dinosaurs from Gondwana in ...

Abstract Tyrannosaurus has been an exemplar organism in feeding biomechanical analyses. An adult Tyrannosaurus could exert a bone‐splintering bite force, through expanded jaw muscles and a robust skull and teeth. While feeding function of adult Tyrannosaurus has been thoroughly studied, such analyses have yet to expand to other tyrannosauroids ...

The European ankylosaur record: a review
Ankylosaur skeletal remains and tracks from the European Middle Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous are reviewed here. Whereas the Jurassic material assigned to four species are known mostly by isolated elements, the Early Cretaceous record is more complete ...

Patterns of variation in fleshy diaspore size and abundance from Late Triassic–Oligocene
ABSTRACT Vertebrate‐mediated seed dispersal is a common attribute of many living plants, and variation in the size and abundance of fleshy diaspores is influenced by regional climate and by the nature of vertebrate seed dispersers among present‐day floras.

The presence of a basal cingulum, fluting, and overall size have been used to differentiate nodosaurid and ankylosaurid teeth for decades. The taxonomic utility of tooth morphology in ankylosaurs, however, has not been quantitatively tested. In addition,

In the basal ornithischian condition, represented by Stormbergia (reconstructed), the ilia are near vertical plates of bone. In the earliest ankylosauromorph, respresented by Scelidosaurus, the dorsal rim of the iliac blade and postacetabulum have ...
