Unusual cranial and postcranial anatomy in the archetypal ankylosaur Ankylosaurus magniventris
Ankylosaurus magniventris is an iconic dinosaur species often depicted in popular media. It is known from relatively fragmentary remains compared with its earlier and smaller relatives such as Euoplocephalus and Anodontosaurus.

The Paranasal Air Sinuses of Predatory and Armored Dinosaurs (Archosauria: Theropoda and Ankylosauria) and Their Contribution to Cephalic Structure [PDF]
AbstractThe paranasal air sinuses and nasal cavities were studied along with other cephalic spaces (brain cavity, paratympanic sinuses) in certain dinosaurs via CT scanning and 3D visualization to document the anatomy and examine the contribution of the sinuses to the morphological organization of the head as a whole.

Illustration of the endocranial doming, which can provide a proxy for the brain‐to‐endocranial cavity index, using the endocast of an adult of the iguanodont dinosaur Proa valdearinnoensis as an example. Abstract Although the brain fills nearly the entire cranial cavity in birds, it can occupy a small portion of it in crocodilians.

The effects of the spreading of the Central Atlantic during the Middle Jurassic on dinosaur faunas [PDF]
The spreading of the Central Atlantic is a complex series of events that include a ridge jump to the east and a ridge jump to the west at c. 170Ma and c. 162Ma respectively.
