A new Cretaceous thyreophoran from Patagonia supports a South American lineage of armoured dinosaurs. [PDF]
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 dentary of hadrosauroid dinosaurs: evolution through heterochrony
Abstract The near‐global distribution of hadrosaurid dinosaurs during the Cretaceous has been attributed to mastication, a behaviour commonly recognized as a mammalian adaptation. Its occurrence in a non‐mammalian lineage should be accompanied by the evolution of several morphological modifications associated with food acquisition and processing.

Abstract Little is known about the large‐scale evolutionary patterns of skull size relative to body size, and the possible drivers behind these patterns, in Archosauromorpha. For example, the large skulls of erythrosuchids, a group of non‐archosaurian archosauromorphs from the Early and Middle Triassic, and of theropod dinosaurs are regarded as ...

A reassessment of the purported ankylosaurian dinosaur Bienosaurus lufengensis from the Lower Lufeng Formation of Yunnan, China [PDF]
The earliest definitive ornithischian dinosaurs are from the Early Jurassic and are rare components of early dinosaur faunas. The Lower Lufeng Formation (Hettangian–Sinemurian) of Yunnan Province, China, has yielded a diverse Early Jurassic terrestrial ...

Paleodiversity of Late Cretaceous Ankylosauria from Mexico and their phylogenetic significance [PDF]
Isolated bones and osteoderms of ankylosaurian dinosaurs recovered from Late Cretaceous sediments of northern Coahuila, northeastern Mexico, have been identified as remains of nodosaurids. Here, we summarize these discoveries and provide a review on Mexican Ankylosauria from a taxonomic perspective.

Ankylosaurs, dinosaurs possessing extensive body armor, were significant components of terrestrial ecosystems from the Middle Jurassic–latest Cretaceous. They diversified during the Early Cretaceous, becoming globally widespread. The Lower Cretaceous Wealden Supergroup (Berriasian–Aptian) of Britain has produced abundant ankylosaur material, with three

New Insights into the Cranial Anatomy of Panoplosaurus mirus (Dinosauria: Nodosauridae) using Computed Tomography [PDF]
The holotype skull (CMN 2759) of the Late Cretaceous nodosaurid Panoplosaurus mirus Lambe 1919 is re-examined using computed tomography (CT) imaging, revealing important new information about the internal anatomy.
